Talking about catlike agility, Keith Richards did not land on his feet when he fell down from the tree.

two of my favourite bands. led zeppelin probably nudge it but only on the right day.

i don't own anything by The Stones but i rarely listen to the Zep that i have.

Led Zeppelin by a nose hair.

Ew Nerbs. What a letdown. You were doing so well for a few days there, but this is spectacularly heinous, perhaps grounds for counseling.

I still don't get it. How can plagiarism be sincere?

This C/NC = Death vs Boogaloo. I guess that makes it a good C/NC. If I have to pick one band it's Rolling Stones for no good reason.

what? what? are you kidding me?
zep clearly.
sabbath exceeds both though.

Okay...I see a lot of Stones hate. I didn't want to vote in this poll, but now I feel compelled to say Stones.

I know you all are fascinated by my opinion, so here's why:

First off, the Stones are a rocker generation older. Maybe that seems like a dumb reason, but to me that means their roots are in a little deeper and they're that much closer to the source.

Second, it comes down to a song- maybe a couple of songs. For the longest time, "Street Fighting Man" was my favorite Stones song. However, when I got around to buying my own copy of Beggar's Banquet, the album track before SFM, "Jigsaw Puzzle", just kicked my ass.

I mean...that song...I'm surprised more filmmakers who use the Stones (Wes Anderson, Martin Scorcese) haven't used "Jigsaw Puzzle". The song itself, I think, has a narrative that would suit some montage dealing with scenes of death, violence, regret and sorrow beautifully- especially, maybe, the part where Jagger gets self-referential about his band.

I was out drinking one night, I told this girl my favorite Stones song was Jigsaw Puzzle. She kissed me.

Memo to Turner is pretty cool too.

When I think about it, though, it's like this...Zep were like this skyscraper- or this menacing storm cloud- that loomed over everything. The Stones were thugs- meaning they could be human beings and speak to you on that level.

So...I love me some Zep, but I've gotta say Fred and Barney on this one.

i thought this meant you were going to explain to us why we're fascinated by your opinion. bummer.


seriously tho your post made me go look up jigsaw puzzle, and it is pretty fucking good.

Mick Farren's version of "Play with Fire" kicks the shit out of the Dickies version of "Communication Breakdown". Fuck the Dickies.

God, this hurts, but I have to go with Zeppelin. Sentimental reasons only.

Stones>Zepplin. Take the 8 best Stones albums toe to toe with all 8 Zepplin albums and we've got a royal rumble.

The D&D/Lord of the Rings stuff kills it for me. I'm trying to imagine Zepplin if they had got Rod Stewart to sing for them like they wanted...

As I am a drummer, I will admit that I would take Bonzo over Charlie most days of the week.
