Appropriate way to vote for the plagiarism kings!  Tongue


Seriously....? Just about every Brit blues rock  (and some US ones) borrowed heavily from early black blues men . Zep became huge so they were noticed for doing this. I do agree they should have given credit to those artists for several of the songs they reworked, but they didn't at the time.

Thumbs Up

Many good bands on that list but Zep came out before the others (except for Bowie) ,had pedigree ( Page was in the effing Yardbirds ), and their range of material and songwriting was amazing for basically a blues rock band. Bowie was certainly diverse over time and Queen could be diverse but there was something hidden in Zep's depths imo that cemented their place in rock history. Though to be honest none of the bands mentioned are all that proggy to me .

You took the word and heart right out of my throat.

I don't like to choose best, but I love Bowie's music.

Vangelis would come second for me. I've noticed that I generally prefer artist names to band names in Prog Related: For example, aside from those listed: Terry Riley, Gerard Manset and John Cale for his terrific collaboration with Terry Riley, Church of Anthrax. I also like Jarre for Equinox and Oxygene a lot. Those that I have most wanted to see added to PR generally aslo have have been artist rather than band names.

Yes yes and yes. I'll add Lucio Battisti to the list (which again proves the artist name rule-of-thumb still reigns supreme) - as I adore everyone you've mentioned. Just listened to La Mort d'Orion here the other day and was quite simply swept away to a dreamy and otherworldly French delirium.


Ah yes, I like Lucio Battisti too. La Mort d'Orion is a beautiful album -- glad you like it.

It's between Primus, Bowie and the Talking Heads. Primus need their first vote so they get it.

Rainbow is so lonely there with no votes that I was tempted to vote for them... but in the end overall I like Zep better. Still, Rainbow deserve to be doing better than that.

Maiden > Primus > Zeppelin
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

1-Queen (easily)


2-Maiden
3-Bowie
4-Zeppelin
5-Sabbath

Though many of those have some great albums.

Yes..I'd go with Zep, Wishbone , and then Sabbath/ BOC.........never really thought much of Maiden.
IMHO Bowie is of those overrated artists that's either hit or miss in his songs.

LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN and BLACK SABBATH are my clear top three, it's not close. Went with MAIDEN because they had no vote.

I'd say Metallica, although Buckethead, Sabbath, and Maiden come close.
