as everyone knows, there have been many fights that originate from Zeppelin's greatness, and im here to start another one. recently ive been seeking an answer to this question. The Beatles are considered the band who invented rock, but did they have all the skill that everyone claims they have? heres my take on this: Led zeppelin definitely had the skill of the two bands, but the beatles were the ones that broke through the wave of crappy 60's pop by writing their own songs and create rock on a larger scale. However, led Zeppelin took rock to another level. Plus, their skill is superior to the beatles. Lets do a comparison:
Singers:
John Lennon Vs. Robert Plant- this is the most disputed because lennon also played guitar and is said to be better by some but worse by others...
I'll have make this a tie.
Guitarists:
Paul McCartney Vs. Jimmy Page- Page could beat Paul McCartney with his eyes closed... literally. listen to any two songs by each band and the winner is clear. McCartney may have played out there chords, but plant played his solos so much better than McCartney. This one goes to Page.
Bassists:
George Harrison Vs. John Paul Jones- This is more complicated because the bassist has to be solid with the drummer. Harrison was solid, but what he was playing was not as complicated but jones' music was more complex ansd he still maintained solidity. This goes to Jones.
Drummers:
Ringo Starr Vs. John Bonham- This ones obvious. You could play drums for a year and play most of ringo's parts. they wont be as smooth, granted, but you could play it. John Bonham is basically considered the god of drumming, and his parts take much more skill than anything Starr ever played. John Bonham wins, and if u disagree i will beat u down with some drumsticks.
Im not saying that the beatles suck, they are one of my obsessions along with zep, but all im saying is that zeppelin wins by a hair because of their skill
LET THE ARGUMENT BEGIN!!!!!!!
