re: Led Zeppelin vs. Pink Floyd

Zeppelin would win in a walk if it weren't for the existence of Robert Plant and his histrionic vocals that make me want to build a time machine and strangle him in his infancy.
Floyd is very hit and miss for me, and that middle period after Piper and before Dark Side is pretty bad (I know true Floyd fans love those albums, but Ummagumma is tedious as hell). The Wall could probably stand to be a single record instead of a double, cutting out the filler. and Shine on Your Crazy Diamond doesn't need to be nine parts and 20 minutes. If they were a writer, I'd say they need an editor. But really, it's a band that famously hated one another, and their inability to work well together causes a lot of sprawl and bloat on their albums (have to pin this on Waters, who seems to be one of the more difficult people in music).
Zep wins because their rhythm section is unimpeachably awesome. JPJ and Bonzo are the bedrock of the band, and any band would kill for that duo. From that era, maybe only Yes has as great of a rhythm section.

between the two bands, I like floyd more. but that's probably because of the bad taste in my mouth i have from LZ "lifting" so many songs from older blues artists and not wanting to give them any credit on the records/royalties.

Shut your whore mouth. And the live side to Ummagumma is fantastic.

Moon & Entwistle > JPJ and Bonzo

Also Baker & Bruce aren't far behind
