I don't know; I think Plant fancied himself a hobbit. And they're kind of rabbit-like. Sort of. Or perhaps an elf on a white steed, all glistening swords and gleaming arrows, galloping off to fight the hordes at Mordor in the land of the ice and snow. Bare-chested, naturally. (Unlike Jon Anderson, who was in and around the lake. Standing there.) (Or Peter Gabriel, swooning for the royalty, piping his flute.) See? Zeps were prog. |

Kashmir is the meat stew I think, it's meatier, and the cocktail has to be the delicate Shine On  |

Led Zeppelin weren't just a hard rock band; they used mellotrons and Moogs and mandolins and 12-string guitars and Indian percussions, and drew from disparate sources like Arabic and Indian music, folk, blues and early r&r. Plant's Tolkien-influenced lyrics could be as insrutable and mystical as anything by Jon Anderson. Page and Jones' approaches were often symphonic. See, for example, "The Rain Song." And Genesis' "Fly On a Windshield" bears more than a passing resemblance to Zep and in particular "Kashmir"s beat and atmosphere (although the Genesis tune came first?), so clearly the progsters were paying attention.

I really love both.
Choosing one over the other is like choosing between a shrimp cocktail and a beautiful rabbit stew. I'm not saying which is which though...

Kashmir. It's among Zeps best tracks, imo.
I only really like the intro and build up in SOYCD. I don't think the song is that remarkable to be honest, and when the sax comes in at the end, it's one of the biggest anti climaxes in prog rock, I can think of. |

No amount of polls will change those polls you are talking about so that is wasted effort. On the other hand you can compare these two pieces and you cdan compare Beethoven to Mozart.

It's about as comparable as "Abacab" and "YYZ" are to "Arrakis" or Magma. Or rather, more comparable. The only relationship between "Kashmir" and "SOYCD" is that they are among the greatest epic prog songs of 1975. However, "Kashmir" didn't compete in the "Best of 1975" poll because Zep is a "prog related" band. I expected SOYCD to win (I voted for it myself), but I was curious how close the vote would be. I thought of doing a "Stairway to Heaven" versus "Echoes" poll - both are from 71, - but it seemed to me that "Echoes" would win by a huge margin. The point being, perhaps proggy tracks from prog-related bands should be included in the year-by-year Best Of polls. :-) |
