Led Zep - Prog Side - Complilation

^It does not. I was only trying to show you what giving some s&*^ to a topic from me would really sound like. I don't things that seriously was the point.

^The folk singer Phil Ochs made a 10 minute suite like song in the 60's called Crucifixion about the murder of JFK. Should that song be considered proggy? And should the artist be considered Prog related?

Time to demystify the Prog of Led Zeppelin. I'm only doing this as your post seemed to be for fun only and I actually applauded many of the posted suggestions and defended your omission of Achilles Last Stand. As a long time fan of predominately American Blues and Folk Music (Progressive Music is perhaps third or forth on my list of favorite genres) the idea that a British Electric Blues based group like Zeppelin, which employed long psychedelic breakdowns and extended suit like movements at rare times, being even remotely considered prog because prog fans embrace them is laughable to me because of the simple fact that it would have and most likely still is laughable to the surviving members of the group themselves. That Zep had musical qualities that appeal to proggers is fine just as long as they can listen to the groups blues numbers and rockers with the same appreciation. As for the Who, they committed the Prog sin of creating concept albums. Something the Zeppelin never have entertained on their most polluted day, and that's a real blues based rock band for you.

Did they have prog elements, sure, so did the Beach Boys with Good Vibrations.

It's one of my favorite Who tracks proggy or not......I was lucky enough to have seen them 1974 at college before Moon passed on. One of the best shows I have ever seen.

yes dr. And I like your favorite 'proggy' Who track.....

I like my Zep raw and bluesy (Zep I and II), or the Jimmy Page does Joni Mitchell/Sandy Denny act (Zep III).  When Zep got proggy, that's when they're least credible....they always pushed the Dungeons and Dragons shyte and the Tolkienesque, but I never bought it.  Seemed an easy way to reel in the teenage zomboids.
