Deep Purple versus Led Zepplin  

I like them both, especially Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmi Page

deep purple is better than zepplin...i think.. their both great, but dp has more of the rock n' roll thing..

Both Deep Purple and Led Zepplin are great bands. I have both on my computer and I don't favor one over the other. It depends on what I feel like listening to at the time, but they are both very talented.

I like them both, but i can say that Zeppelin is a legend.Maybe cos they are slightly older, maybe cos they started with blues inspiration, i dont know. However, i prefer Deep Purple, because they have more nice songs than Led Zeppelin, of course it is logical if you consider Purple have created far more albums than Zeps. Both bands have great musicians, Lord is a masterpiece of musicians, and Gillan is probably the best vocalist ever.

Its funny you should say that Zeppelins songs were more appealing to the general population when they weren't into releasing singles and preferred to concentrate on the live format, much like Purple in fact. I think Zeppelin have the edge because their songs were more varied and more cutting edge. I also think Zepplin's interplay between individuals was even better than Purple's, the understanding between Bonham and Page/Jones in particular was uncanny.

I think Deep purple is better than Zeppelin! For me Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest guitar player of all time! Long live Deep Purple&Ritchie Blackmore!
