Do you like Led Zeppelin and/or Pink Floyd?

[Pedrito]

Both in my personal Heaven of Music.

I started listening to them when I was 16, and still regularly put on their records.
Not later than last week I had Physical Graffiti in my car's CD player.

While there's no doubt that Zep are rock-blues, I won't classify PF as "prog". They're a league on their own.

Prog is Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, some of the most boring music ever created.

Both, but Floyd vastly more.  I've only a passing interest in Zeppelin, but I'm a pretty huge Floyd fan.  It's a shame my discography didn't survive my old computer; all I've got left is Division Bell.  Perhaps that will be sufficient.

I will say that The Wall got me through a really tough day once.

No, the Division Bell is certainly not sufficient.

[Tamas]

except for a few truly great songs from both, they both seem to get very old very fast when I am sober

[CountDeMoney]

Neither, actually.  But I suppose some of Pink Floyd is good, if I were a stoner from the 70s smoking beer can coolies.

Yes is awesome.

[Eddie Teach]

I went to a Yes concert and was bored out of my mind. It didn't help that the only song they played that I knew was Roundabout.

"Starship Trooper", "Wonderous Stories", "Long Distance Runaround", "I've Seen All Good People", "Owner Of A Lonely Heart"...

[Eddie Teach]

They didn't play those. Well, don't know about first two.

Yeah, Pink Floyd isn't really prog, but they get classified as progressive rock because they fit into any other rock genre even less well.

I like some progressive rock, but it's certainly not my favorite.

I was making a classic rock CD earlier for an upcoming car trip and got into a discussion with my bro about this.  For some reason I used to hate Led Zeppelin (don't recall why), but in the process of building out the playlist I threw some Zeppelin in there anyway.  Driving around @ lunch and listening to Kashmir, it kinda hammered itself into my head and now I can't get it out, which I think means that I like it.

I'm thinking for a while there was some kind of backlash against liking Zeppelin and so maybe I got sucked into that, or maybe it was the only angsty teenagers are allowed to like them.

I've always thought Pink Floyd was ok and have always loved Comfortably Numb, but think they might fall into the same 'only teenagers are allowed to like these guys' category.

I can't stand Pinky Floyd or Rush, but I don't mind a song or two from Led Zepp.

Every time I play "Subdivisions" I'll think of you. 

Me, I love both Zep and Floyd - and for that matter, prog. Including Rush.

Of course you love Rush.

First of all what you say is tantamount to blasphemy. Prog is the only form of music worth listening to. And while I admit that Floyd were into their own thing, they were very much part of that prog vanguard of the early 70s. Listen to Echoes, if you still doubt.

The Wall got me through the entirety of high school.
