Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, T Rex, David Bowie, CREAM, The Beatles,Rolling Stones The Experience. All excellent and from a time when music was real and played with Soul!
Also both Robert Plant and John Bonham were born in my County of Worcestershire.
both have awesome bass players.
and still at it!
Artist wise, Zep had the better lead Guitarist in Jimmy Paige while The Who had the better lead singer in Daltrey and the better drummer in Keith Moon.
Both experimented with the music and pushed the envelope. Zep had more hits and certified rock anthems ("Stairway To Heaven", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog") "but when they recorded a bomb song, it sure did stank.(IMHO "Dyer maker" sucks).. The Who had three certified Rock Anthems which two early pioneering examples of the synthesiser in Rock music, "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again", (and "Who are You"). But the Who created Musical history and a worldwide sensation when Pete Tousand took their 2nd concept album and turned it into the world's first Rock Opera - "Tommy" (double Album). And then The Who followed it up with another rock opera "Quadrophenia"(double album). How many bands tries to copy "Tommy" with their own rock operas? Dozens of them. (At least Tommy went 2x Platinum)
But then Zep had a little thing called "Physical Graffiti" which out sold almost everything -:
Argentina (CAPIF) Gold 30,000x
France (SNEP) Gold 100,000*
Germany (BVMI) Gold 250,000^
United Kingdom (BPI) 2× Platinum 600,000^
United States (RIAA) 16× Platinum 8,000,000^
*sales figures based ...
