Ok. So any album which is less progressive than Foxtrot isn't prog?

BTW: Nobody says that Led Zeppelin are a prog band, or that they should be added as a prog band. Ok, some people may request that ... but 95% of those who are in favour of the addition say: prog-related.

They're not really prog, but I wouldn't be fussed if they were listed here. Excellent band with occasional strong prog leanings.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Led Zep is one of my favourites bands ( next to mine beloved GG ), but I still haven't made my mind up about their inclusion or not.

Deep Purple being here so therefore so must Zeppilin?

Not a viable argument. deep Purple are Proto prog, Led Zeppelin are at best Prog related so must be judged by different merits.

I don't think they'll be included, sorry.

Led Zeppelin = Classic rock yust as Deep purple & Queen, but since they are here why not?

This has been done before.  They have some moments but they are a blues based band.  Great band though. 
true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.

your evidence is... underwhelming hahahhah.  Just kidding of course.. some of those songs are great prog songs.  To use a great 'Ivanism' in reverse. ELO did some discoesque songs and albums... doesn' make them a disco group  anymore than a couple prog songs made Zeppelin a prog group. Zeppelin was a rock group, an incredible successful one, that did incorporate other influences in their music.  ahahha what successful group hasn't done that.... they couldn't steal poor songwriters songs and redo old blues songs forever could they. So.. for what it's worth.. an impassioned NO from Micky on Zeppelin.  Besides the day this site gets overrun with the roving bands of prepubescent  Zepheads that prowl internet chat sites is the day this site loses a great deal.  I can see it now....(every 3rd or 4th thread)

What is the greater prog album

Led Zeppelin IV
or
Foxtrot

hahahha.
