This is a cruel poll, nobody should be forced to chose between two such sublime classics, but I'll vote for Kashmir on the basis that Zeppelin never bettered it, whereas Floyd I thought did some superior stuff to Comfortably Numb...if you ever do a poll for best guitar solo of all time though, Gilmour on 'Numb' would probably get my vote.

I agree with North Pink Floyd in this one.

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Kashmir is extremely influential, you can even hear it in Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers, but I can never really get into Led Zeppelin. Having said that, Comfortably Numb is not Pink Floyd's best track (I found The Wall disappointing), it just has a great solo from David Gilmour.

Of course I voted for Kashmir, but Comfortably Numb isn't too far behind. You can get completely lost in both songs.

That is exactly why I vote for Kashmir. It's my favorite Zeppelin song and probably their best. I love Comfortably Numb, and the solo it's amazing, but I think Floyd did better songs (and it's not even my fav from The Wall:D). Amazing anyway...
Good thing is this is just a poll and we can listen to both:grinthumb
