Top Ten Ways the Beatles are Better Than Led Zeppelin

lavashooter I saw a "Led Zeppelin are better" list, so let's counter that.

The Top Ten

1 While Led Zeppelin left a strong impact on music,The Beatles left an impact that transcends music

The Beatles were the big bang of rock and roll. They were more innovative, artistic, and influential than any other band in history. Ask Eric Clayton, he was in awe of the fab four. Top 5 slots on billboard in 1964 and more hits down the list.

2 The Beatles have 3 of the greatest song writers ever
3 Led Zeppelin's materiel is somewhat dated, The Beatles have aged better.

The Beatles broke up before Led Zeppelin released over half of their studio albums. Therefore, The Beatles are MORE Dated than Led Zeppelin, and they are both good. If it were this way, then we would all like Justin Bieber over all the other artists, and this would be an Anti-Beatles site.

By dated I mean Zeppelin sounds like it could only be recorded in the late 60's-70's. The Beatles' music is more timeless. - lavashooter

The Beatles changed with every album. Led Zeppelin and most other bands just sounded the same all the time.

4 The Beatles were more diverse in their music

The Beatles did more different genres of music just in "the White Album" than Pink Floyd or any metal band did in their entire career.

The Beatles are nowhere near the most diverse band. Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Judas Priest, are all more diverse, and so is Led Zeppelin.

5 Plant isn't a bad singer, but John and Paul are better

Can agree with paul better than plant but personally don't agree that john better than plant.though he is a good songwriter but plant has nicer voice(my opinion) - zxm

6 The Beatles have stronger personalities

And entertaining, often pleasant, engaging personalities with thoughtful and witty perspectives to share. - Billyv

7 McCartney is a better bassist than Jones
8 George Martin is one of the greatest music producers ever. Page less so.

Yes,but george martin isn't a band member of beatles - zxm

But the band was fortunate and smart enough to use his help, which enhanced their creations. And they gave him credit. - Billyv

9 The Beatles were more influential.

They are both very influential, but if it weren't for The Beatles, none of the great bands you hear today would be around.

Yes I agree with here.though I am a big fan of zep but beatles where more influential.most influential rock artist is elvis presley,then its beatles. - zxm

10 Most of The Beatles songs are their own original compositions

This should be the top reason. Led Zeppelin got famous by covering old blues songs. - TheStargazer

Okay I agree led zeppelin covered old blues songs.But what about beatle's plagiarisms.never heard of it? they plagiarized chuck berry's songs. - zxm

That only happened once. Led Zeppelin got away with plagiarism on their first 3 albums all the time, unless they were sued. - lavashooter

The Contenders

11 The Beatles were more creative and innovative

They also got plagiarism cases. - zxm

12 The Beatles used excellent harmonies
13 Led Zeppelin steals songs

Beatles also stole songs. - zxm

No, The Beatles always credited the original artists. Zeppelin rarely did unless they were sued. - lavashooter

14 Without the Beatles, Led Zeppelin wouldn't even exist
15 The Beatles are/were better looking

As much as I want to point out that looks do not matter, it is kinda true.

Ha ha,this doesn't work.cause its not a reason to be one better than another. - zxm
