Do you mean the album Quadrophenia or the instrumental song Quadrophenia?

live : the who with moon

on record : zep in slight lead , then fuck it all up with their last 3 crap albums

I like them both.

Led Zeppelin's material didn't sag away like The Who's did.

"Who's Next" vs. "IV"....hmmmmm.

"It's Hard" vs. "In Through The Out Door"? That's not as tough.

Then I look at the solo work of the members or what they've done since their last significant release...

Led Zeppelin runs away with it.

ZEPPELIN

NO CONTEST

PAGE+PLANT+BONHAM+JONES=PURE GENIUS

Zeppelin by a landslide, if you leave In Through the Out Door out of it...

No shit?

I love that album.

The production is a little muddled, but I really dig the tunes.

Fool in the rain? Classic.

Led Zeppelin.
Bought Physical graffiti yesterday & it's fucking Graaate!

Actually a tough call for me. Think Zep gets the edge because they called it quits after Bonham died. The Who kept going after Keith punted out, and are now still carrying on even after Entwistle kicked it. Just a matter of integrity.

The Who did some great shows, though. And you can't discount Who's Next and Quadrophenia; those are two seriously monster fucking albums. Even the Who By Numbers and Who Are You had some great stuff on them.

The Who and Zep live in the mid 1970s......too close to call.

Don't think In Through The Out Door was weak, either. Carouselambra was a great track. Same for I'm Gonna Crawl and In The Evening.

My vote goes for LZ, I have loved their music since I can remember. I just feel it in my head and my heart.

The Who is still a great band and no one can deny their contribution to music, but LZ has this one hands down.

Best,

I saw 'em last year and, to be fair to them, they were awesome. Really. Yes, it was really just Townshend and Daltrey and not the classic lineup of the Who... but what a great show it was... except for losers telling us to sit down during Baba O'Riley. We moved and continued to rock out all night.

I can't believe more people haven't voted for the Who. IMO, they're the fathers of hard rock. I Can't Explain (yes, I know the Page connection), My Generation, I Can See For Miles, etc. were early examples of rock actually becoming "hard." Add Cream to the mix and, slightly later, Zeppelin, among others, and you start to see hard rock taking shape.

Then again, the Who would probably win with a classic rock (less metal) group of people, so I guess it all evens out. It's all taste, eh?
