   1973's 'Houses of the Holy' would be closer to prog, It has an incredible amount of styles and certain connections with what other prog groups were doing around that time, 'The Song Remains the Same' and 'No Quarter' are perfect examples of this.
Led Zeppelin IV is hard to categorise, Not one song sounds alike really, It's certainly more progressive than what most groups associated with Zep were doing.

	With each successive album the mighty Zep progressed from their basic blues-rock beginnings to include bits of folk, reggae, funk and world music. Very few blues-rock bands of that era bothered with trying to expand their boundaries, so for that I give Zeppelin loads of credit. Of course I also feel like Black Sabbath's first six albums were progressive in their own way. I mean what other metal band had the audacity to play with Rick Wakeman? And, not only did they play with Rick they made it work and as a result 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' has long been of my favorite albums and a very progressive hard rock album I might add. No Sabbath and Zeppelin weren't Yes or ELP, but they were progressive compared to other bands that came from the blues-rock boom of the late 60's. Edited by man@arms

	How about Physical Graffitti? I think that's more prog but sure Zep always had some prog sensibilities in their songs though they were never "all out" prog.

	Voted Yes - Stairway is certainly progressive, along with the more folky tracks on it. Only borderline though, plenty of fairly simple (but brilliant) middle-of-the-road rock songs on it.
