Well, in my opinion a loud Gah is in order here.
Re: The Great Debate: Floyd or Zeppelin?
But if I had to choose one, Floyd by a long shot, because of Syd Barrett.
Re: The Great Debate: Floyd or Zeppelin?
Too completely different styles. I have more Led Zep (every album) so I'll vote that.
But they're both great really. Except John Henry Bonham, he's the better drummer from the two bands, and IMHO the best drummer I've ever heard.

Obviously it's The Who

It's nice to see you here again ianofsmeg16!!
Damned tricky to decide, though. I had to say Floyd, though.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Obviously as its they who invented the beast. No Hendrix was not the guy who turned up his amp and started playing outrageously loud. It was Townsend and the Who. They invented hard rock along with bands like Blue Cheer.Obviously it's The Who
Floyd is probably the greatest prog rock band of all time however. Zep the 2nd best blues based rock band behind Cream IMHO.
The Who are basicly a hard rock band that ventures into prog. Listen to Live at Leeds and see what I mean. These guys held the record for the loudest band in concert for decades.
