Let's settle it, Queen vs Led Zeppelin, which band is better?

Here's how I see it.

Queen was definitely more eclectic in their songwriting and could write a hit song in just about any rock genre from early speed metal ("Stone Cold Crazy") to opera ("Bohemian Rhapsody") to anthem rock ("We Will Rock You") to synth pop ("Radio Ga Ga") to sentimental ballads ("These are the Days of Our Lives") to hard rock ("I Want It All"), to gospel ("Somebody to Love"), to glam ("Don't Stop Me Now"), and to rockabilly ("Crazy Little Thing Called Love"). Their range was simply incredible and they had one of the greatest singers (and arguably greatest live performers) in Freddie Mercury.

They also had a lot of individual talent in that each member could write superb, hit songs. Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Roger Taylor wrote Radio Ga Ga, and John Deacon wrote Another One Bites the Dust.

However, Queen put out several very weak albums like Hot Space and Made in Heaven.

Led Zeppelin may not have been very eclectic but what they did they did better than anyone else when it comes to bluesy rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. No one was better than them at that time and perhaps since. Robert Plant may not have had the range of Freddie Mercury but he had a dynamic voice that he used much like an instrument and his live performances weren't too shabby either. And let's not forget that John Bonham and Jimmy Page are arguably the greatest drummer and guitarist, respectively, in rock history. John Paul Jones is no slouch either. Yet Zeppelin's music was mostly written by Page and Plant.

Led Zeppelin arguably never wrote a weak album (well maybe their last one) and their albums overall are more cohesive than Queen's. This one is really hard for me to say but...

I go with Zeppelin.
