Heh, one can easely believe such a thing, it's not often you hear bass solo's

Id give it to Floyd...as much as I love Zep.

Floyd were definately more creative and I rate Dave Gilmour just as highly as Page- If for no other reason than Gilmour can still do it- Page has difficulty playing his stuff these days (and has been for a long while), especially lead riffs.

I also have it on reasonable authority that there may be a Zep reformation in the works (with Jason Bonham on drums). I was initially skeptical- was thinking it would most likely just be Page & Plant but no- it is supposed to be the Zep- whey hey!

I refuse to choose, I love 'em both.

Except their losing and last on the list. The winner seems to be the Who

Pink Floyd and Led Zepellin are both incredibly pompous, although inspired, talented and technically accomplished - the Who (as well as the whole mod thing) were as carefully constructed as Pete Townshed's riffs; taking extra care on what clothes to wear what sort of face make on stage and what sort
of guitar to smash.

While all three are worth a place in r'n'r history they don't really worth their hype IMO.

Many Thanks
