Zep Vs. The Who (rock, quote)

**Urban Hatemonger** · 05-14-2006, 09:18 PM

Zeppelins popularity didn`t skyrocket here until at least the release of the remasters box set in 1990.

Until then they were just another rock band.
I realise it may be hard to beleive for someone bought up in a country where you have radio stations dedicated to stairway. But the fact is Zeppelin were never that much of a big deal in the UK. You didn`t hear them , you didn`t see them. It wasn`t even until about 1990 that I was even aware of them.

C'mon, they were performing in freakin' arenas way back in 73.

But they wern`t a household name like the Who were.

Because , as I said they were never seen & they were never heard.

On the radio sure.

But just like The Grateful Dead, a sh*t load of people went to their concerts anyway.

having witnessed both live twice each, count this vote to the who. both were sights...and sounds....to behold. but the who was devastating live.

I have to agree... Zeppelin's live shows were hit or miss, there were times when they were f*cking amazing live, and times when they were damn near horrible... The Who put on a great show no matter what.

However i do prefer Zeppelin, and i think their studio work was better than The Who's, just my opinion.

Led Zeppelin in the U.S and in Canada were one of the or the biggest metal band in the 70's.
