Led Zeppelin vs. The Beatles (rock, genre, fan, John Lennon)

Rockafella Skank · 12-18-2003, 08:26 PM

Who's music do you like better? This isn't to discuss who is more influential or more important to the rock genre, but just who's music do you like better?

I like both a lot, but I think I like listening to Led Zepplin just a bit more thanThe Beatles. It's a hard choice, though, because it's a really close call for me.

Sure they revolutionized "Rock" but that doesn't mean their music must be cherished or worshiped. The newer styles of music are much more compelling based on self preference to many people and only because they were one of the first greats doesn't mean they are the only great thing out there = )

I have chosen the Beatles only because they have had a wider style of musical output.

Led Zeppelin personally. And I reluctantly admit to finding my self agreeing with some of what Edgil said... OH, hang on, I see what's happening...Edgil you sneaky boy, you said it on purpose to try and get in my good books and impress me! Tut tut!!

Zepplin, the beatles we huge and that was exactly the problem. They were too much of a girls obsession than serious musicians. But dont get me wrong, I love both to death..

let it be....

It's Zeppelin, and I'm shocked at your Beatles statement.

Well i have never heard aything like that in my life,To be fair it's a hard comparrison to make.So you may of strained yourself a bit working out your favourite,but are you seriously saying that the attention given to the Beatles made them less musicians???? Your nuts cracked!!!

No, not less musicians, but the beatles were too over-hyped by the media, in my eyes. Still love em though. I liked John Lennon better during his solo career.

Only the talented have the ability to share it with the rest of the world. Here's a thought; let's stop labeling music and fighting over what genre a certain band is, and start listening to whatever pleases our ears no matter what anyone thinks of it! ;)
