Friday Face-Off: 1975- Zep vs Sabbath

[lunchbox]

Take your pick for the better rock song. Both were released in 1975.

Hole in the Sky- released 28 July 1975 on 'Sabotage'.
Loose beat by Ward, head bobbing tempo, sick fuzz on Geezers bass tone, killer Iommi riffs with a raw Laney tone. Has stoners worldwide shouting more:

Kashmir- released 24 February 1975 on 'Physical Graffiti'. Technical mastery by all four, impeccable timing, sexy and interesting use of orchestral elements, made a cameo appearance in 'Fast Times...' = street cred:

Both are classics, which one wins the hard rock prize?

I'd listen to Hole any day over Kashmir. I love Geezer's grind on that one. Kasmir is just too damn long and repetitive; also been played to death on Rock radio.

 

[firesgt911]

Sabbath here too.

On a related note, 1975 Sabbath would beat 1975 Zep's ass in a fist/bar fight.

Uh-oh...Kashmir pulling ahead by 1.

 

[Shred Astaire]

Sabbath always wins!

You forgot the "Rat's Ass" option.

You forgot the "Rat's Ass" option.

In this thread, that only applies to what you have to say, KP.

So, no dissenting opinions allowed eh?

 

[DADGAD]

Kashmir would be my entrance music every time I enter a room.

 

[stinkfoot]

Edit: Crap...then someone voted right after I said that.

having said that, i loved hole in the sky

 

[SixAngryStrings]

My vote was #13 for Sabbath \m/

 

[CHUNKYNECK]

I like them both but Kashmir for me, it was the first Zeppelin song I heard as a kid and the first cool song I learnt to play on guitar.

 

[HogmanA]

Bit like comparing a Gibson to a Chinese Knockoff...

 

[Rocknburn]

Kashmir is not a standard rock riff.It sounds different.

 

[Dun Ringill]

I love Zep but I had to go with Sabbath (see avatar). It's kind of apples and oranges because Physical Graffiti and Sabotage are completely different styles. I love both albums for what they are. Lotta gems on both!!
