Though I love me some Sabbath. Ozzy Sabbath. If I had just Zeppelin and Ozzy Sabbath available to listen to, forever, I would be perfectly OK.
Edit - spelling fail...

While I love Zep, it's The Who for me.
Listen to Quadrophenia, the whole album, in order and you have the greatest rock opera the world has ever known.
Listen to Keith Moon's drums, there is no end to it, it is varied and consistent at the same time.
Listen to John Entwhistle's bass, he is a genius. It took a group of 5-6 musicians to create the complex rhythms he put out after he died.
Listen to Pete Townsend's voice and guitar. Read the lyrics to Quadrophenia that he penned and see if you're not impressed.
Listen to Roger Daltrey's voice, clear cutting notes to screams that are still musical.
Led Zepplin is up there to, and my love for The Who does not mean Zep is any less, I just like the who more. While I own all the albums of both bands, it's The Who cds that are always in my car (this is where I listen to music the most).
Good Question KK, just wish more would put some thought into it and not be haters, but this is Dakka.
I voted Zep, And in response to MadEric, I would suggest a song off of the "How the West Was Won" album put out fairly recently, "Moby Dick" In it, John Bonham basically has a 17 minute long drum solo (the studio version, IIRC was 'only'12-15 minutes or so)
I also thoroughly enjoy the "how the band was formed" story, especially where Bonham is involved.
But for me, the Ultimate Zeppelin song, has to be Achilles Last Stand. I've told my wife to have it played at my funeral should I croak first.
As for The Who, TBH, the only songs of theirs I know is the "Who Song" (used as the theme for CSI), and Pinball Wizard.
KC, this is like picking a favorite flavour of ice cream. It's pointless, they are all delish.
But, since I'm pretending there is a gun to my head....The Who. Ever so slightly.
We were once so close to heaven, St. Peter came out and gave us medals; declaring us "The nicest of the damned".

I despise The Who. Too jangly and bubble gum pop-ish, plus how many decent songs do they have? four? Pictures of Lily is funny, but not a good song, IMO. Won't get fooled again is a rock staple, and a cool song, but not as legendary as stairway.
Never listened to a bad Led Zepelin song. Well, not from before 1978.
Don't understand Sabbath and Ozzy. Too obnoxious for my tastes. IMO, ozzy has no substance to him. his lyrics are skin deep.
Rolling stones are fantastic. Dislike very little of them. I have to be in a certain mood though.

I had to go with the Who, simply because my best friend in high school made me listen to LZ constantly for months on end. Con-stant-ly. Whenever we were hanging out, whatever we were doing, LZ. At first, it was great. Then, it became annoying. In the end it was maddening. If they'd have made more music since then, I might have different opinion now, but they haven't. My feelings for LZ are much the same as Tom Hanks' for seafood at the end of Castaway.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

See it would be hard for me, because Im not really a fan of either of those bands. Sure they both made some decent to good tunes, but personally, I think they are both WAY over hyped
You know, I've really tried hard to like The Stones and The Who...but it just never really stuck with me. I don't think they suck or anything, but just not my bag

Spoiler:
Which is to say, of course, I disagree.

That's why I wrote down Genesis because they are better than both. But SOMEBODY got all nerd rage on me...

I fething hate the beatles. I've tried and tried and tried, but I just don't like them at all. I've listened to rubber soul, let it be, SPLHCB and the white album back to front numerous times, but I just can't like them.
Oh lord, more lemmy jock riding. All motorhead songs sound the same, and lemmy is a drunken one trick pony. Never could understand the hype for motorhead.
