Reasons Why Led Zeppelin is Better Than Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath also had a variety of music. Their first album was a blues rock record, while the next was hard rock/heavy metal. Their third (Master of Reality) was a doom album with some of the heaviest riffs ever. Their fourth mixed their style with jam band/hippie music, even Elton John stuff. Their fifth was progressive rock and their sixth was avant-garde with progressive rock and metal. Their next two were pure hard rock and their eighth (their first with Dio) was a mix of heavy and power metal.

You know, John Bonham would hate this list. Both are good in their own way

No Communication Breakdown, No Paranoid
No Dazed and Confused, No Iron Man

Enough Said

Black sabbath had originality, While led zeppelin copied work from other artists! Want evidence? Search up "led zeppelin rip offs" on google and you'll see what I mean

While Communication Breakdown, a song not even in my top 5 was better than Black Sabbath's best song, Paranoid.

Zeppelin had rip offs!

Metallica sold more than Black Sabbath last time I checked.

Led Zeppelin was only behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Elton John.

This is the only reasonable argument I see here. I think Sabbath was better overall. While Led Zeppelin has a better “top 5” songs, and while Led Zeppelin IV is better than any of sabbath albums, Sabbath was more consistent with their albums (by far), they were more original (they copied a lot less and... they invented a genre) and they were overall more influential (yes, I just said it).

Geezer is better than John Paul Jones.

Once their drummer, John Bonham, died, they had to break up. Black Sabbath, had more than one singer. Anyone heard of Ronnie James Dio? , or Ian Gillan? What about David Donato? Ray Gillen?
