I think that it depends on the mood. Both are good, but lately, Floyd's deep philosophical meaning behind their songs and albums, and the stories and messages behind them have drawn me closer to liking them.

This is a tough choice, but I'm voting Zeppelin, only because I've been a fan of them for longer.

Zeppelin for me though I do like Pink Floyd and watching Dark Side of the Rainbow is insane....

My top 5 for each

Zep: Stairway to Heaven, D'Yer Maker, When the Levee Breaks, Kasmir, Dazed and Confused

Floyd: Brain Damage, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Money

Tough choice. Both bands took rock to a new, more cerebral level.

I have to give the nod to Zeppelin, but Pink Floyd is a close second.

Here is my imitation of an A-hole:

"WHAT? Are you insane? Clearly Led Zep is better on this Internetz poll! What are you smokin'? Don't you know that whatever I say is correct?"

Seriously, I value everyone's opinion even though I may disagree. I just wanted to point out how ridiculous some freehuddlers are with their "facts"...which, in truth are only opinions.

I think Floyd is deeper in their philosophical meanings, however Zeppelin had stories to their songs as well.

Floyd's concept albums, as a whole, were probably better, since they stuck to a basic "story line." Zep had better rockers.

Thank you
