I saw this on the Prog-Related guide.

Quote Although Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Wishbone Ash may seem like mere hard rock bands, in their time they stood apart from other hard rockers with their more serious lyrical content and more developed compositions. Put simply, in the early 70s every prog-rock record collector usually had full collections of all three of these artists.


I don't believe it. By that standard, there may have only been 100 prog-rock collectors in the entire world.

Edit: I just realized that these bands only had about 10 albums in the early 70s. So it's much easier for collectors to have every album. My mistake...Embarrassed

I have...one Led Zeppelin album, zero Black Sabbath albums, and one Wishbone Ash album, so the answer for me is...no. LOL

I never had them all in the seventies. The statement is a bit stupid I think.

Not much of a Wishbone Ash buff, but it does seem a bit far fetched to describe Sabbath and LZ as mere hard rock. I mean, Kashmir? The Writ? They are much more than just Black Dog or Paranoid.

LOL yup - it's a farfetched idea. I had two zep, two sabb and one ash album in the 70s. I have since increased that to 4 sabb albums, but none of those bands figured much in my musical outlook now or then.
What?

If I recollect correctly I had by say 1975/6

Led Zeppelin:
Volume 2
Physical Graffiti
The Song Remains The Same

Wishbone Ash:
Argus

Black Sabbath:
Master Of Reality

That's about it I think. And the Sabbath one I bought cheap.

Re-read it: it's written "in the early 70's". So, I guess it makes the years 1970 to 1972 (maybe 1973?)
LZ released 4 or 5 LPs; same account for Black Sabbath and Wishbone Ash; 8 or 9 for Deep Purple, if we keep taking about 70's hard-rock bands.

If we even take more radical measures and say the early 70's are 70-71, we have 4 albums for LZ, 3 for BS, 2 for Wishbone Ash (but 6 for Deep Purple!). It's not gigantic.

^ Purple faired better in my collection in the early 70s as I bought everything upto and including Come Taste The Band, but for me they were more "progressive" and fitted better with the kind of music I liked at the time, especially on their first three Rod Evans albums.

I never thought you were a progger in the first place, more a jazz-head who stumbled here by accident Tongue

I've always had the Led Zep albums but I never had any Sabbath albums until a few years ago (frankly, they were always derided in the "serious" music press, along with Uriah Heep) and I only had the first Wishbone Ash album and Argus (now that is an essential album for a prog collector).

I've got every Led Zeppelin album.
 
One Black Sabbath album (as I just discovered, don't know if I have more) and it's We sold our souls for Rock and Roll.
 
I don't know if I have a Wishbone Ash album but maybe, never know.

I have all of Led Zeppelin, and most of Black Sabbath.  I am missing 3 or 4 Black Sabbath albums.  I only have a greatest hits album from Wishbone Ash however.

I had all Zep and Sabbath at one time, but have purged the titles I no longer enjoy.  As for Ash, I have only Argus.

I own all of Zeppelin. I would rather shoot myself than listen to quite a few albums in the Sabbath/Ash discography, let alone pay money for them.

I have all the Led Zep albums, and really should listen to them a bit more. I have all sabbath until Live Evil, when I lost interest. No Wishbone Ash.

All studio Zeps and nothing from the other two. Also, I didn't take any real interest in Led until the '00's.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
