Zeppelin versus Sabbath?

[random3434]

Which band do you think has a bigger influence on new music today?

Zeppelin of course~

 

[eots]

I think nativity in black answers the questionn...how many platinum selling tribute albums of zeppelin preformed by the top cutting edge bands of this time have there been. ? uhhhh...none..how many led-fest have there been...nope none of those either

 

[Steerpike]

When it comes to the current stuff, and probably the stuff being put out since the early 90s, Black Sabbath is definitely the overriding influence.

 

[Dr Grump]

Zepplin...easily..

Oh, and U2 are Ok in my book...

probably black sabbath....all the hack speed metal douches try to be sabbath......zep is the better band though....notice no one can do zep except zep.....

Sabbath (the Ozzy years) are probably my favourite band of all time, I don't have a clue about the influence on other bands compared to Zep.

 

[Steerpike]

Maybe the people saying Zep can list the current bands that are more heavily Zep-influenced than Sabbath-influenced.

I'm interested.

Zep invented metal for chrisakes. Happily for us, they also could actually play music at the same time

Sabbath just made it respectable to call any three chord rock played loud, metal.

In that respect I suppose you have to give the crown to Sabbeth because so much that followed them in the metal department was basically (musically speaking) simpistic shit.

Zep didn't invent metal by any stretch.

Zep and Sabbath formed in the same year, firstly. Deep Purple formed the same year as well. Lots of bands were playing that type of stuff before Zep hit the scene to "invent" anything. You've got stuff by Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf, probably as much metal as Zep and definitely an antecedent to metal, coming out at least a year before Zep released their first album.

The root of Metal is undeniably Sabbath.

Simplistic shit, eh? yea, I guess they couldnt ALL rip off another band to create an iconic Stairway to Heaven.

There's no accounting for taste, boys.

If you're big Sabbath, bully for you.

I though Sabbath was overrated when they were new, and I thought they were overrated when they were old, too.

I like both bands a lot, but since the early 90's forward, I hear the Sabbath sound coming through in new bands waaaaaaaaay more than Zeppelin. I also don't know where anyone ever got the notion that Zeppelin is heavy metal. Blues based hard rock isn't synonymous with heavy metal. I can't even think of one single Zeppelin tune in drop tuning...a staple of heavy metal since first put into wide use by...you guessed it...Black Sabbath. And as Soggy pointed out, Zeppelin ripped off a ton of shit. So Sabbath wins for originality too IMO, if that was what we were voting on.

overrated enough to create an entire genre and actually be original with their riffs?

I like Sabbath more...but the consensus is Led Zep

Which consensus is that?

Personally, I'd live quite happily never hearing either one of them again.

I can't tell you how much that means coming from a chick with a Menudo poster in her bedroom.

You know, I can shoot you if I catch you doing that again.

Yeah right! You say that like you'd object or something.
