Led Zeppelin, the Who are a close second, Rolling Stones are a distant third.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
You're right, it isn't even close.
They're third in my book, and I don't rate the Zep at all.

this explains a lot.
Mod era Who is awesome. Who's Next might be the best album ever made.

The results of this poll are exactly backwards. The Who are no doubt the best band listed here, followed by the Stones, and Zepellin is last.
Sorry guys, you are all wrong.

Yes, because your tastes are indeed to be taken as a fact of right and wrong. I apologize for being incorrect then.

If you voted for a band who promotes their songs through tie-ins with the televsion program "Days of Our Lives" when you could have voted for Zeppelin, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Zep all the way. The other two are better than nothing.

For me it's Zep by far and away.
I really do love me some Stones though, especially as of late.
Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones, Who.

#1 - Zep. Imagine opening LZ III and listening to opening track for the first time. Every album is legendary (especially through Physical Graffiti). Live Zep between 1971-early 1973 (right before "The Song Remains The Same" was filmed), there is no parallel.
#2 - Stones. Great, especially with Mick Taylor and especially live in the early 70s. After Tattoo You --> meh
#3 - Who. Who's Next is great, but I'm not as fond of their other stuff.

Just met Rodger Daltry & Pete Townsend at the launch party for their new live DVD of Quadrophenia & Tommy. I got a signed copy, unfortunately I think it sucks and should have been buried in a closet forever... never to be released. Both were recorded long past their prime.

This is a good poll because all three bands are so close, despite what a lot of people seem to think. I'm going with the Stones.

Wrong, this poll is ridiculous. Trying to rate top tier bands on "who's the best" is stupid and reserved for useless stations like VH-1. Polls like this make me sick, all these bands are legandary and deserve to be resepected as such. None are better, it is based on taste and mood, if you cant see why, leave.

I see your point regarding there being no right or wrong answer, but you, my friend, take pop music WAY too seriously.

I dont see where you derive this statement from. For the most part i despise pop and search anywhere i can (OOT usually provides good substance) for something good. Popular opinion has very little effect on what i decide to listen to.

Are you under the impression that the three bands in the OP are not pop music?
Also, I like stuff that doesn't suck too. I simply don't think disgust is an feeling I would ever have towards anyone's opinion of music, whether I thought it was great or not.

I dont know where you derived this idea that I "digust" anyone here's view of music. I also wouldnt call these bands "pop". When i think of pop i think Britany Spears, N'sync, and madonna. The bands in question are ledgendary rock moguls, not to be confused with the former.

I enjoy all three of these bands.
I like Zepplin because they were not afraid to experiment. However for some reason I never really got into Robert Plants solo albums.
I love the Stones. Specifically the "Exile on Mainstreet" album. I thought "Sticky Fingers" was excellent as well. My only complaint about the Stones, is that over the last 20 years they have kind of become a "cover band", of themselves. I imagine someone in this thread will accuse them of "selling out" or something like that; but I don't think that is the case. I just think they really have not put out a relevant album in a long time. Which in no way detracts from their previous work.
The Who, has always just been OK by me. I enjoy some their stuff, have a few albums. But really don't go out of my way to hear them to often. Something about the sound has just never really clicked with me.

You could make a serious case for it, yes.
FWIW, I like all three bands. But if I could only listen to one, I'd go with Zeppelin, as their body of work as a whole is of a higher quality and more diverse than the others.

Led Zeppelin, in a landslide.
Q: Which of the bands on this list has Jimmy Page played with?
A: All three. The Stones and The Who both hired Jimmy Page as a session guitarist.
When considered in the context of their times, The Who was the most innovative band of the three. Pete Townsend is a genius.
The Stones are more derivitive of R&B and Led Zep had the whole 60's to build upon (of course their individual members were a part of that scene).
Three great bands, but The Who stands out.

Dude, the original poll didn't ask people which band was best (of course arguments can be made for or against). It merely asked which was people's favorite. This is totally subjective (and there is nothing wrong with that) and, as someone who likes/loves all three bands to varying degrees, I for one was interested to see how the poll numbers turned out.

The Who was always my favorite band growing up. I must have listened to All of Qyuadrophenia twice per day every day after school when I was in the seventh grade. Yes, I was one of those kids. Notwithstanding Pete Townsend's apparent efforts to destroy any remaining good will with his fans by continuing to sell off the rest of The Who catalogue to various commercials, I guess out of loyalty I still give them the nod as to "favorite" of the three although I definitely have spent more time listening to Stones albums over the past 10 years.
FWIW, Townsend once admitted that while they tried to compete with The Stones back in the heyday as best band, he acknowledged that The Stones were the more impriotant and greater band. Perhaps. But for my money The Who totally rocked out more than the Stones and as a youth I related much more to The WHo's lyrics and music. Compare "The Kids Are Alright" movie to "Ladies and Gentleman The Rolling Stones" and other examles of the Stones' often shoddy live performances and you will see where I am coming from.
Zep is, of curse, also great. As with The Who and The Stones, I have all of their albums. Butthey never moved me the same way the other two bands did. So while acknowledging their greatness I put them last of all three.
