Led Zeppelin fused blues, rock, acoustic, and folk to give us an amazing array of albums. With the exception of Presence, every single Led Zeppelin album has been great (and that was certainly understandable considering the...circumstances). The Who has given us maybe two to three really good albums, and those sales were built upon the success of singles. I'm not trying to dismiss the influence The Who had on the genre or their ability as musicians, but comparing the two bands is pointless, and sad.
Led Zeppelin had an amazing keyboardist and bassist, an incredibly emotional and soulful vocalist, an impeccable and accomplished guitarist, and the best drummer in the world (hands all the way down).
The Who had "Teenage Wasteland," so I guess it wasn't all bad.

Lol. Seeing as you don't even know the name of the Who's most famous song you don't know much about them. I didn't know Led even used keyboards and Entwhistle is much better than JPJ. Bonham's only slightly better than Moon and Townshend is close to Page. Songwriting wise no one in Hard Rock matches Townshend. Vocally Daltrey is worlds better technically than Plant and doesn't exactly stand around on stage. The Who have much better lyrics as well. Live the Who were incredibly tight and even now in 2007 they put on a damn good show.
