Need to jam HtWWW before I can give a verdict on live performance.
With regards to instruments:

Bonzo > Paice
JPJ > Glover
Blackmore > Page (leads)
Blackmore = Page (riffs)
Plant = Gillan (vocals)

Also DP had Jon Lord, while LZ had no keyboardist.

I think Zep was the most eclectic of the 2, but Purple, as JT mentioned,
was def more innovative.

Love both, but I'm def more of a DP guy.

Deep Purple were definitely more eclectic imo. I mean if you look at their discog there's a much bigger variety of styles. Admittedly a lot of that came due to changes in line-up but still.

Fair point JT, maybe I've missed something.

At least Zep didn't shit on their legacy with a load of mediocrity like Purple did (with pretty much everything after Perfect Strangers) though.

@JT: gotta take historical variables into account. Zep prob would've done quite a fair share of shite if Bonzo hadn't died. But alas he did, so the band couldn't go on without him (or chose not to anyways).

DP's frequent personnel changes must've affected their decline in quality to some degree.

Oh yeah the only reason Zep didn't go the same way is because they disbanded while they were still near(ish) the top of their game.

I think during the first 10 years of their career the ever changing personnel helped somewhat, it kept them fresh and kept them moving forward. It's one of the reasons why their 60's-70's discog is so interesting.

Yeah, agreed there. But it prob fucked 'em up later on down the
road.

I believe manosg has a soft spot for some of DP's "bad albums"
though. But we all have our guilty pleasures.

DP > LZ [4], though Zeppelin clearly made far fewer mediocre albums than Deep Purple in the 70s and 80s alone.

Deep Purple is great, but there's no way I'd put them over Zep.

Lately I've been preferring Sabbath to Zep as well. I feel that, overall, Sabbath had the better 6 album run:

Sabbath S/T > Zep S/T
Paranoid = II
MoR > III
Vol. 4 > IV
SBS > HotH
Sabotage < PG

That's 4-1, plus a tie makes it 5-2. However, this is my opinion.
