And hencefore was born heavy metal.
And Zep were far more inventive than Sabbath-that is a fact borne out simply by listening to their respective albums.
As to better-as I said, it is objective.

I agree with the first part of what you've said but completely disagree with the second part. Led Zeppelin basically did blues rock and hard rock better than anybody else song for song and they perfected the bluesy hard rock sound that had been prominent in the 1960s. Sure they diversified with folk leanings etc but inventive is not a word I'd use for them. Black Sabbath on the other hand were far more inventive and basically not only created heavy metal, but laid down the groundwork for the future extreme metal genres of thrash and doom loooong before they were thought of.
Also realised I hadn't voted, so gave it to Page.
