big fan of both bands -
cant imagine how many
thousands of hours
i've logged listening to both -
prob know the words
to just about every led zep song,
but i'd prob lean sabbath,
mostly due to the volume -

our friend @CouchOnFire
will have some input on this -

Based purely on which band has better riffs, its Sabbath. Zep overall the better band due to complexity breadth of style within songwriting, etc. I cant think of many if any bands who have, song for song, a more badass catalog of pure riffs than Sabbath. Zei experimented more woth different modes as JPJ took over the song writing, both of them relied pretty heavily on pentatonic blues scales for their riffs.

the rhythm n melody changes

its like they could have made
several songs out of
one composition -

One of the sickest riffs overall, but ESPECIALLY the breakdown at 4:07. Heavy as fuck.


I love Zep, I love their whole catalog, but for my money they dont have a riff as nasty as that.

I dont think one can rank Sabbath above Zep, at the same time ya cant put Zep above Sabbath.... Co-GOAT of both catalogs... this is my favorite...
