Floyd>Beatles>Zeppelin>Stones
Bonzo, of course
Led Zeppelin > Pink Floyd > Rolling Stones > The Beatles
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are on a par but I'd give it to Zepplin as Pink Floyd's later albums are pretty safe and quite painful. Rolling Stones are fantastic.
The Beatles are a total pain in the arse >it's john no ringo no it was george foreveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Paul! it was Paul oh who cartes
Slayer> Pink Floyd> Sound Garden> The The
>>61144528
Underrated
So much plebeian in only one thread
Beatles > Floyd > Zep > Stones
>>61144232
>filthy cynical Brits don't get Beach Boys
Those comments are quite laughable when you consider that it was THE BRITISH who openly embraced Pet Sounds when it first came out, while the U.S. fan base kept wanting the band to play surf music. In fact, when The Beach Boys went to England for the first time, they were quite surprised that the audience only wanted to hear Pet Sounds and not any of the earlier stuff. It should also be noted that another cynical Brit by the name of Keith Moon was a very big Beach Boys fan, and it has been remarked by Pet Townsend that if Keith Moon could have his way, The Who would've been Britain's premier Beach Boys tribute band.
Pink Floyd > Beatles > Led Zeppelin >>>>> Roling Stones
>>61144593
Lmao this contrarian
The stones suck ass
Floyd > Beatles > Stones > Zep
dumb question
only correct answer
>>61144138
I don't know that any one of them were the best. They were all very good at what they did.
Zeppelin - Their songs were arranged very well. All very talented with their instruments, respectively.
Beatles - Lennon and McCartney were both gifted songwriters. McCartney's better in my opinion. They knew how to market themselves and adapted to each era easily. The original Backstreet Boys.
Pink Floyd - Brought progressive rock to the forefront. I don't believe we'd be talking about them like we do today if Syd Barrett had remained in the band.
Stones - They wrote classic tunes, but I think it's Keith and Mick really sold the band. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, if you will. Very enigmatic personalities.
My favorite's probably Led Zeppelin though. To me, there were more "good" songs on each of their albums than say 1 or 2 catchy ones. i.e., I-IV.
>>61144509
this is correct
>>61146183
this
>>61144207
This guy has the right idea
>>61144138
objectively
zep>floyd>beatles>stones
I think the Stones and Zep have the classic rock songs, Beatles had the best pop songs and Floyd was not as good as genesis.
Beatles and Floyd are pretty interchangeable. I don't really care which one people put first (personally I put the Beatles first). All that matters is that they're both better than Zep and that Zep is better than the Stones because that's the way it is
>all these filthy contrarians hating on based Zeppelin because "muh dadrock"
>mfw they'll go to great lenghts to be wrong, just because their resent their fathers
>mfw, no matter how good the Beatles and Pink Floyd were, their success was mostly because of marketing
>mfw no other band had such a consistent career
>mfw Stones sucks
>mfw people in this thread will try to debate these facts
>>61144509
this desu senpai
Floyd > Zep > Beatles >>>>>>>>>> Stones
Never really cared much for the Stones, but that's just me.
The Who
>>61144577
I agree with this.
>>61148766
Honestly I don't get why people like Led Zeppelin so much. They were god-like musicians, but mediocre songwriters. I mean they wrote solid tunes but they weren't very original. Whereas all the other three bands developed a unique sound of their own based on their influences, Led Zepp just made butt rock and outright plagiarized other songs.
>>61148982
have you heard their acoustic shit
>>61148995
No, I'll give it a try - any song recos?
>>61148766
>facts
also, they stole their music
Beatles = Stones >> Floyd > Zeppelin
In no facet are Led Zeppelin better than the Stones, but I won't argue anything else.
>>61149073
in general i recommend that's the way, the rain song, ten years gone, over the hills, hey hey what can i do, bron yr aur, the ocean, friends
>>61144138
'65-'69 Pink Floyd is the best.
>>61148982
They were the greatest blues-rock musicians ever. They reinterpreted the whole genre, and were largely responsible for the foundation of classic rock as it is. Their folk material was also amazing and really diverse. Despite what people may say, they were quite a versatile band in terms of influences and experimenting different sounds, later on in their career. Sure, most people know them for a few catchy tunes, but they achieved much more than that. Their whole discography is precious.
As for the comparison between groups, I'd leave Pink Floyd apart, as it was from a whole different style, and I consider them to be at the same level as Led Zeppelin.
But please, name songs from The Beatles or The Rolling Stones that can compare to Dazed And Confused, How Many More Times, Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, Since I've Been Loving You, Stairway To Heaven, The Battle Of Evermore, When The Levee Breaks, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, No Quarter, Kashmir, The Rover, In My Time Of Dying, In The Light, Ten Years Gone, Achiles Last Stand, Tea For One, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Carouselambra, Hot Dog, In The Evening...

These are both way better bands than the Stones. Hell, The Who might even be better than all the others.
>>61149295
i think people who dont like lz as a whole want more "catchiness" and sing-a-long ability like hooks and stuff but lz never aimed to be marketed like a pop group. i think people dont understand that and write them off by saying they're not good songwriters.

They did, their "versions" of these songs are so far from the originals, you can barely see the resemblance. The chord progression is clearly different, and the lyrics are also altered. I am aware of the whole plagiarizing thing that LZ did. But you cannot say that their songs hold more than a slight resemblance to the originals.
Also, to quote Ian Anderson, who's been rumored to be a victim of plagiarism by the Eagles:
>“It’s just the same chord sequence,” Anderson says. “It’s in a different time signature, different key, different context. And it’s a very, very fine song that they wrote, so I can’t feel anything other than a sense of happiness for their sake. And I feel flattered that they came across that chord sequence. But it’s difficult to find a chord sequence that hasn’t been used, and hasn’t been the focus of lots of pieces of music.”
