Where is the great Led Zeppelin country song like Wild Horses? Hotdog? Zep was nearly as one dimensional as AC/DC- but they were much better than AC/DC.

LZ outsold the Stones massively; the albums were required possessions for teen schoolboys in 70's and 80's. LZ is easier to get. The guitar with more distortion, the solos faster, the drums louder, heavier. I like LZ a good bit, but I have always missed any kind of subtlety or finesse with them. The message is literally pounded into your brain. Many people prefer it that way. But you got the Stones saying "betcha momma never saw you scratch my back", and Zep saying "squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg". I don't mind the in-your-face style of Plant and Page, but find there's a lot more to discover with the Stones; they hold up well through years.

Lyrics to their "masterpiece" Custard Pie:
Drop down, baby, let your daddy see.
Drop down, mama, 'way ya, mistreat poor me
Well, my mama allow me, I fool around all night long
Well, I may look like I'm crazy, I should know right from wrong
See me comin', throw your man out the door
Ain't no stranger, been this way before
See me comin', mama, throw your man out the door
I ain't no stranger, I been this way before.
Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em all down
Put on your night shirt Mama, and your morning gown
Well, you know by now, sure gonna shake 'em all down
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice
When you cut it, mama, save me a slice
Your custard pie, I declare, it's sweet and nice
I Like your custard pie
When you cut it, mama... mama, please save me a slice.
I'd sure like a piece of your custard pie
I'd sure like a piece of your custard pie
I'd sure like a piece of your custard pie
I'd sure like a piece of your custard pie
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down, yeah
Drop down
Drop down
...need I say more?

I also LOVE Zep. A very, very close second to The Stones for me.
Stones vs Zep is like (cold Italian) pizza vs custard pie.
Both are incredible, neither are perfect. Things that irk me about one band don't apply to the other, and vice versa.
Both have their catalouges remastered to brilliance.
Trying to get non-fans into the Stones or Zep is just as easy if you know the right tracks to hook a particular listener. I as dating a 23 year old chick recently. The Zep song that did it... Trampled Underfoot. Stones... Hey Negrita. Not exactly tunes that get radio play.
Still, hearing Stones fans shred apart Zep breaks me heart...

I saw the topic come up again and I thought "Here we go again"...but I say amen to your post[/quote
Thanks brutha!
I think people who actually get angry in threads like these need to chill out a bit - no need to make it personal, none of us have any ownership over these bands!

Excellent post! Zep was good back then but we've all(well, MOST of us) grown up since then.Quote

Zppelin are bigger than the Stones now as they were then. And that is a fact.
I don't mind how big they were. I only know that Stones are better, sorry.
Could you please explain what you meant by writing "better " ? On live ? Musically ? As song writers ?
To my opinion ,neither are better. They have different styles.Led Zep is a must-have from the golden years .
The Stones have written much better songs, their performance is much more entertaining, they have released much better records (the so acclaimed Led Zeppelin's "Phisycal Graffiti" wouldn't be anything special in Stones' discography), and are much groovier. Moreover, the Stones are able to play effectively a much wider variety of musical genres keeping their own unique trademark sound. I hope this is an exhaustive explanation of why I like the Stones so much better than led Zeppelin.
