Topic: Lazy vs Since I've been loving you Posted: January 08 2014 at 21:41 |
This is a pair of cool almost blues songs (with and edge) performed by two giants of Hard Rock. Which one do you prefer? Sorry if this isn't prog enough, but once again I couldn't make the poll on the Prog related lounge... I don't know what happened, I remember there used to be no problem making polls there.

Since I've Been Loving You for me. I love the dramatic buildup in the song. Lazy is probably my least favourite from Machine Head.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Love Deep Purple very much and of course Lazy is another superb track but honestly there's no contest here, Since I've Been Loving You IMO is one of Zep's top 5, it has a perfect structure and it builds up very well, very emotional too.

Lazy, especially the version from Made in Japan. They are pretty close though.

No contest for me. Lazy all the way. Since I've Been Loving You never did much for my ears.

I'm a big Led Zep fan but never been that keen on Since I've Been Loving You. They have better blues numbers so I vote for Lazy.

Since I've Been Loving You by miles! As good as Lazy is, SIBLY is one of my top 10 Led Zep songs. I find it some of Jimmy Page's best guitar playing, I'd never heard anything like it before, and the improvisations he did in the live performances (especially on The Song Remains The Same) are properly mind-blowing. The lyrics are also quite powerful, along with Plant's soul singing as per usual, and let's not forget Jonesy and Bonzo!
So yeah, Since I've Been Loving You wins it for me

Making polls was disabled in the Proto-Prog and Prog-Related Lounge long ago. I moved this to that lounge for you. I think people can still vote there, but perhaps I should moved it to General Music Discussions (I seem to remember Dean mentioning that he thought that they shouldn't be moved to Prog Related since there's a reason why polls were disabled there in the first place). I actually think of these as more classic rock songs (which of course they are, but as a designation) than even Prog Related. Personally, if something is a Prog Related poll (most options being in the Prog Related category), I just do it in General Music Discussions. Anyway, I like both of these tracks about equally, I guess.

All this and more. I'll just add that I love the interesting chord changes too. Especially towards the end where it almost becomes a game of guess-what-chord-is-coming-next. Great tension-builder.

Oh, but I still don't understand. If this are prog related bands (prog related enough to be included on this site), then why shoould poll about them be made on general music discussion? Prog related lounges are already less viewed than the prog ones, so my post has less oportunity to be seen (even if it may be of interest to some people). But general music has even less viewers and it would be just forgotten. That reminds me, I think the last polls I was able to make on prog related were a bunch of polls of Pink Floyd members vs Beatles members. I though those polls were rather interesting because they weren't just about guitar vs guitar, etc, but also song writing and vocals (matching the ones I thought had a similar role, thus there was a Wright vs Harrison poll too). However, they seemed to have had some attention until they were moved to general music... and I never understood why. Pink Floyd are truly progressive, and The Beatles are Prog related (I had seen polls with less relation to progressive stay on the prog polls lounge).
