Led Zeppelin. I have loved them for years. The Battle of Evermore is my favourite track and want it played at my funeral.

But I'm gonna chuck a curve ball in here, and say Deep Purple

Funnily enough it wasn't til lockdown that I really started taking notice of Queen and bought all there albums up to live killers.. though if I had to choose it would be led Zeppelin..cos queen have far more shite songs than Zeppelin..and that's on the album's I've listed.... Saying that led Zeppelin live is generally a load of self indulgent wank at times..

Led Zeppelin for me, favourite track is How Many More Times.

I do like Queen but I'm a metal head at heart, they're just not noisy enough

Not even a close contest…Queen are just an incredible band - totally unique in their sound.

They changed the 3 min song rule for radio play…

I had a ticket for Zep at Knebworth but was ill in bed and missed it - I was gutted. I saw Queen at Coventry theatre - Killer Queen was just out and I got tickets two days before the concert.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Both fabulous bands that made their own impressionable mark in history. I enjoy both.

Freddy Mercury's voice is something to behold, though Robert Plant has great pipes as well.

Brian May or Jimmy Page? Take your pick!

Ultimately I enjoy Led Zeppelin more by a nod. They also had Bonzo. Best Rock drummer of all time; end of

Do you mean the free concert in 1976? If so I was there too and it was brilliant!

Led Zeppelin just edge it for me though although it's very close. Freddie Mercury was an absolute star.

Another impossibly hard choice OP...

Of course Zep didnt release singles or videos so they were less radio/tv played. Back in the day Queen were way more visible with their videos etc, and a big part of my formative years...

However...

If I had to take all of my Queen and Zep albums, and put them in the order I'd listen to them in my final hours, Led Zep 1 to 4 would be first to fourth in my list.

Tough to pick a favourite track, but I know that good times bad times always gets cranked waaaay up when I'm on the road...

I know what it means to be alone...

I sure do wish I was at home...

I dont care what the neighbours say...

I'm gonna love you... each and every day...

Zep. All day long

I do love Queen but Bohemian Rhapsody certainly wasn't the first to break through the 3 minute airplay rule. Hey Jude is 7 minutes long and was released in 1968

i was ther, sat on my dads shoulders. i was seven. it was thrilling all day. i remember seeing kiki dee prancing around the stage with a life sized cardboard cut out of elton john. i was totally captivated by steve hillage too. i remember him stopping part way through an imense guitar part to shout at some people fighting near the stage. queen were just the best thing i had ever seen. the whole day changed my life and i vowed to become a musician when i grew up.

led zep v queen .... it's a draw in my book

Wow i wish i was there , i l9ve when Freddie says "you need to listen this one " this song wasn't totally recorded at this time! You so lucky that you have listened this song before even finally been recorded!

I myself found , the recorded version not good as the version that was recorded on camera in this concert

it has to be said that Brighton Rock is a fabulous piece of live music and sets Brian May as a guitar legend.

Here and now, at this point in my life, I cannot separate them. But for the history and memories I have of them, it's QUEEN every day of the week.

Brighton Rock (Live), Hammer to Fall, the whole of the "Live at the Beeb" album; goosebumps and tears every time!

It's so close for me it's nearly impossible to say. If I had to pick I'd say Queen but only because I've been listening to Queen for longer. I bought my first Queen album, The Works, in 1984 but didn't buy my first Led Zep album, Led Zep IV, until 1986 or 1987.

The whole album of The Works is quite possibly the best album ever in my opinion and Queen the best band ever . My favourite from this album is Machines

My favourite from The Works is It's A Hard Life. It's a great song and I love Brain May's guitar solo on it.

Saw Zeppelin at Earls Court and Queen at Liverpool Empire their first UK tour. Queen were far better when they first started - less flamboyant and less camp. Zeppelin were just fantastic

Queen - Love of my Lifenas as a song Queen II album

Zeppelin - Kashmir song Physical Graffiti album

Queen II is possibly one of the greatest pieces of studio work in music. a true titan of cult music recordings.
