And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How ev'rything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll.

The voting is alot closer than I personally thought it would be. This is probably the hardest decision I've had with this whole "tournament". I really really like both bands, ALOT. As far as which band I like more, I'd say Floyd, hands down. But if I had to choose the one that more deserves to be named "The Best", then I'd vote for Zeppelin, as should anyone else.

Pink Floyd were amazing song writers, however, Led Zeppelin definitely consisted of the better musicians. Jimmy Page is quite possibly the greatest living guitarist. While Dave Gilmour was great, he was still no match for Jimmy Page and I found him very overrated in his actual solo ability. Jimmy Page could play a fucking amazing guitar solo with a violin bow for God's sake. John Paul Jones, despite what you're going to hear others say, was probably the most talented musician in Led Zeppelin. Again, Roger Waters may have been the better song writer, but Jones was the better musician. Comparing John Bonham and Nick Mason is basically pointless. Mason was a great drummer, don't get me wrong, but Bonham's drum solos and endurance totally slaughtered anything Nick Mason played. To say it's sad that either band is ahead of the other is just wrong. Both were probably the two most innovative bands ever. Pink Floyd popularized progressive rock (among other things), while Led Zeppelin is considered by many the first hard rock band. Quite frankly, you're going to find a lot more bands saying they were influenced by Led Zeppelin than by Pink Floyd. Not because one band is different than the other, but because Led Zeppelin was more rock and involved the basic instruments more so than Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd may have put out some of the greatest albums ever recorded, but Led Zeppelin put out some of the greatest songs ever recorded. Both bands are so incredibly equal in greatness that it's ridiculous to even say that you're disappointed that one band is winning over the other.

Alright, Sam, I just wanna clarify one thing, don't make it seem like I'm attacking you or whatnot, but have you ever heard the term "less is more"?
I mean, I'm not gonna try to defend Nick Mason being a better drummer than John Bonham, because that's just silly. But, like the Beatles (and I'm not trying to turn this into another Beatles'/Ringo discussion), Pink Floyd didn't need a kick-ass, 15 minute solo drummer. Nick Mason's style fit perfectly with Floyd. Am I saying Mason could have created or even mimmicked something along the lines of "Moby Dick"? No, because he probably can't, but it doesn't deny that Nick Mason was a great drummer. Yea, I know that's kinda what you said in a few sentences, but I just wanted to share my opinion
