Come again? You might as well call it a blues-based composition with synthesizers.
has no bearing on the fundamental composition.
You mean you are not happy with the riffs and synths?
No, I really like the composition. A great modification of the blues. There are many blues-based tunes from the 60s that had synthesizers, so it's not novel in that sense. I was merely amused at the irony of the voting.

I don't believe I stuttered. It is a blues-based song, particularly Part I. Whether there are synthesizers in it has no bearing on the fundamental composition. Or Gilmour's blues riffs, for that matter.

What a hilarous turn of events. Here we have a blues-based band Zeppelin composing a prog song, "Kashmir", and Pink Floyd, a psych-prog band, composing a blues-based song, "Shine On". And yet everyone votes for the blues-based song! I'll go with "Kashmir" here.

After Yes' Tales came out---Jimmy Page said in an interview in Melody Maker---(I own lot's of vintage Melody Makers) that he wanted to do something artistic and complex like Yes did with Tales---then Kashmir and that whole album came out by Zep and it was their version of arty Zep---it may not be prog in the purist sense--but it's not just blues oriented hard rock.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by light years. Kashmir, while a great tune, is kind of dull and goes on for way too long. The atmosphere and the lyrics is what attracts me to the tune. Jimmy's riff is pretty cool too.

How can I vote against a brilliant song from one of my favourite artists of all time, which was covered by another one of my favourite artists of all time?
