At last, another "The Song Remains The Same" fan. Before then all I heard about it was that it is a weak track. No s$&t.

Led Zeppelin IV. Not only the songs and production are perfect, but it has a special vibe which is sorely lacking on the following albums, despite their having some great tracks.

As far as live albums go, I love all of them, even the maligned "Song Remains the Same" (which has the best version of The Rain Song, and makes the original version unlistenable for me). How the West Was Won and the BBC albums were highly welcome, and they are great, but I had them on high-quality boots for years prior to their official release, so it wasn't really anything new for me.

However, the one I feel the closest to is the Page & Plant No Quarter album. I was in a *huge* LedZep phase for a good year or so prior to that, and that MTV reunion just came out at the perfect time - and it was exactly what I was hoping for, and more. It was loved by many when it came out, but it seems to have been quickly forgotten about. I'm not sure why. I *love* the renditions of almost all the songs on that album - No Quarter, The Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Four Sticks, Friends, Gallow's Pole, When the Levee Breaks. Just... Perfect. It could not have been done better.

All cutural evolvment is based of what may be called 'plagiarizing'.
It is impossible listning to music, without carrying inspiration into your own creations, and it not a bad thing.
And im sure it no more evident in blues than in any other genre, every track with a drumset, is basicly inspired by african drumming.
As there was very Little drumming in traditional European music.
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Clap Yep, couldn't agree more.

Not only that I agree, but I think that In My Time Of Dyin' is an even (much) more progressive blues. I'd even stand for the "prog-blues" descriptor in its case.

The two worst songs by Zep, in my opinion LOL

Houses of the Holy, if only for the Rain song, pure majesty... And then there's No Quarter, and all those other songs... Yeah, definitely Houses of the Holy !

^ Not sure, but I have noticed the 'Six Notes or Less' rule in musical propriety and plagiarism has given rise to some shrewd poaching of popular themes by certain big corporations;  I hear John Williams lifted regularly during those corporate logo flashes before and after films, other composer too like Danny Elfman.

Bach Fugues, Vivaldi .. you name it.   The guy was a composer, that's what composers do; they bring together bits & pieces of music that for all practical purposes already exist, combine it with their own creations, and voilà, you have a varied, complex piece.   Whether or not it's any good is a matter of taste.   Banks was very, very good at it.   So was Keith Emerson.




Amen, thank you.   On another note, did tightening of copyright norms from 75 or so have something to do with prog rock bands running out of classical 'influence'? Tongue

I was joking they don't suck just not my cup of tea, there's too much "baby" in their lyrics and I find it somewhat overused and not that good
