Zep Vs. The Who (rock, quote)

If every member of Led Zeppelin died and it was just Jason Bonham on drums I would still say Led Zeppelin is better.

Led Zeppelin fused blues, rock, acoustic, and folk to give us an amazing array of albums. With the exception of Presence, every single Led Zeppelin album has been great (and that was certainly understandable considering the...circumstances). The Who has given us maybe two to three really good albums, and those sales were built upon the success of singles. I'm not trying to dismiss the influence The Who had on the genre or their ability as musicians, but comparing the two bands is pointless, and sad.

Led Zeppelin had an amazing keyboardist and bassist, an incredibly emotional and soulful vocalist, an impeccable and accomplished guitarist, and the best drummer in the world (hands all the way down).

The Who had "Teenage Wasteland," so I guess it wasn't all bad.
