Stairway actually has more development than Achilles, if I recall.

Achilles Last Stand is the only song I would have voted for IF it was on this list so I voted for "other."

if any kind of long song is "progressive" , so "November Rain" is a prog-epic lol: |
Spoken by someone who's probably only heard 'Black Dog'.
No Quarter, Achilles, The Song Remains the Same, the Rain Song, Carouselambra, etc, not prog? Eh?

Come to think of it, 4 Sticks is probably the only song from IV I haven't heard on the radio.

Four Stix, my favorite under appreciated LZ track. I love how the 5/4 and 3/4 sections fit together. I don't know if it's their most prog but I love it. |
Yep...that's a great song and one of my favorites by them.

Agreed. Other tracks on IV get all the notice (Stairway, Levee, Rock & Roll, Black Dog, Evermore, Going to California), but it's Four Sticks and Misty Mountain Hop that are the real backbone of this album. Such an amazing album, one that's hard to appreciate because of its ubiquity (every song got massive air play on AOR stations in the US in the 70s/80s).

Did Guns-n-Roses sing about elves and pixies? About magic runes writ in gold? About Mordor and the Hammer of the gods? Hmph. I thought not.

The Rain Song, easy.

I went with this. The live version on The Song Remains the Same is just sublime. It's one of those songs that I just *had* to learn how to play, note-for-note.

I always thought Song Remains the Same to be proggy......but No Quarter, Kashmir and Achilles also fit the bill for me.

I agree, by any standard actually, it is their most progressive number in the studio -

Achilles is the one...
No Quarter is next.
Friends of the Folk/Prog song off of III is worth a shout.

Agreed ... and by definition definitly the one piece that is "progressive" ... and he can explain it to you really well in "It's Gonna Get Loud" ... I like LZ a lot, but I really think that stretching this to progressive is a bit scary ... although by the time we put the distinctions side by side, LZ will come off more progressive than half the bands we DID call progressive. I have fond memories of the age of bootlegs and some of these by this band! Their concerts were (generally) excellent.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Yes you're right, I was talking rubbish as usual. |
Looks like I got some of the theory to revisit.
