Swans easily. I love their early sound and Led Zeppelin have never done anything for me.

Swans. I'm not their biggest fan by any means, but the first Led Zep album really doesn't do a lot for me.

Huh. We were just talking about how not good Led Zep I is. Yeah it's not that good at all. Never been a huge fan of Filth either but it's still the better album here.

People, try to work with me. 
OK, "Filth" is filled with songs that start out cool, but get way too redundant and don't have any form of variety whatsoever. The vote goes to Led Zeppelin. I had to stop listening to "Filth," because that's all it was.

I like Swans quite a lot. I like that their music scares the shit out of me but my vote goes to Zeppelin if only for Jimmy Page's studio wizardry that made Bonhams drums sound purely massive compared to everything else at the time.

some notes on Filth:
-If you're listening to it quietly you're listening to it wrong
-The use of guitar distortion, feedback weird tape effects, abrasive two drummer setup and all that is pretty damn creative, especially for 1983 (Godflesh, Neurosis, Napalm Death were all probably taking notes)
-Listen to the drum beats, they sounds like ugly machinery, but its damn catchy ugly machinery, probably my favourite drumming anywhere ever (so many industrial bands have gone with the rigid drum-machine sound, but the looser metallic tone hear captures decrepit factory imagery in a much better way)
-Its "experimental", but there its very emotionally direct. Anger, catharsis, break things ect.
-The lyrics are smarter than they seem, half satire of consumer culture via lyrics purposely structured like advertisement slogans (shit like Flex your musclessss or Strong men win at violence and abuse! should sound ridiculous and uncomfortable), half gloriously jaded world view where everything is seen in terms of parasitic, abusive power relationships
-it would totally defeat the purpose of the album if it "had variety".

That's probably it. I don't like albums that are all about anger. Every song had the same tempo, and I could hardly undestand what the singer was saying. If I end up liking it in the future, then it'll be in the future. I was listening to it loudly, I don't like "experimental" albums, (Vitalogy, Candles, etc.), and I don't want to listen to an album that's entirely about anger. It may sound a little hypocritical of a man who listened to an album all about a serial killer and loved it, but I wat to steer away from things like that. If it were a couple of tracks, I'd be fine with it. But I've heard enough albums where the point is to be repetitive and I would at least like the band to switch guitars or tempos now and then.
