[Nosferatu]

Who ya got in this one?

OR

 

[Think McFly Think]

I love both bands and albums, but I’m gonna take Zeppelin I-IV over many opponents most likely.

LZII

I like the Stones, but they don't have any albums where I love every single song on it.

Sticky Fingers is really solid imo

Sticky Fingers is really solid imo

I can only name 3 songs off that album

 

[Janus]

I'll go with Led Zep ll. This might be Pages masterpiece i production. The amount of songs that I like on this album just outweigh Exile. I like both albums and both delve into a bluesy take which I like, They both took blues from a different perspective, which is cool to see.


McCartney wasn't too far off when he said the Stones were a great Blues Cover Band

That's how they started was what he meant. Your view is ironic given how many tunes on LZ 2 were blues covers and the Stones didn't have to be taken to court to accurately attribute their covers to the people who wrote them. I love both groups and both albums ftr, but went with Exile.

N I do know the ZEP tunes were blues oriented. Zep played with the music while the stones stayed more traditional.
Page did experimentation with the music. He was longing for freedoms like that and even with the Yardbirds. Page wanted to explode. Now on the other side the Stones were an established band, they didn't really stretch the music as much.
I too like both albums and only really liked the NUMBER of songs on the Zep album that caught my attention and especially listening to them in that era.

I bought up the McCartney thing because he may have been right but it was the amount not the quality he referred to, and I took it that way also. The Beatles too were rooted in American scene music and took their fair share of Blues titles to the studio, nobody escaped the blues ( unless you did something like Pink Floyd )
Aerosmith has done an enormous amount of blues beats with their songs along with Foghat. They took traditional versions and embellished just like ZEP and the Stones .It's certainly not a shameful tactic, it's brilliant if ya can stay within the lyrical composition and appeal to the young generation

Zeppelin had a bigger sound but I'd argue that the Stones displayed even more stylistic variety throughout their career and lyrically many of their hits were about something and much more interesting and clever than any of the mystical mumbo-jumbo Plant ever came up with. I realize that doesn't matter to most people and Zeppelin is still one of my favorite rock bands.

No, it's a good point. The Stones used their simplicity to stay within the sounds originated from early Blues. I pointed out that Zep went beyond that, and attracted a new generation of listeners. Each band by the songs on these albums approached the blues in a different manner but they also held firmly to the blues as a genre that could reach their audience I prefer Zeppelin but won't ignore the Stones, they're too good to ignore.
My playlists on digital are saturated with both bands. and probably more Stones songs. I do appreciate their style, many songs parallels each other whereas Zeppelin tries to distance themselves sometimes, I like EXILE, just the amount of songs from 2 interest me more.
It's true that the Stones had an equal amount of lyrical inclusion as musical in each song, more so, than Zeppelin. That distance is Page, Page wanted to express and explore, so the solo's and the guitar work were completely defining of the band. The Stones had great guitar work but shorter periods within the song and some totally un noticeable which adds to the depth of the song, I like Wild Horses, it's clear ( unlike some of Plants attempts to communicate ) it's basic, Angie, the same. They seem to restrain the overdubbing and overplay better than most bands but they tease ya with great composition and background sounds. I think that's what I like about the Stones the most.
I'm not anti- Stones in any way I just feel Zeppelin is to more my liking

This is a very good evaluation. They were both great but very different bands for some of the reasons you state. One point I'll make in the Stones favor is that their catalog of great original music is quite a bit deeper than Led Zeppelin's.

I think EOMS is their best album but still went with Zep.

The Stones are an indelible mark on the clothing worn in the musical fashion show of history, they cannot be ignored for they are so expressional on that backdrop .
