Led Zeppelin - the most progressive song - Progressive Rock Music Forum

No Quarter, no doubt. One of Zep's finest tunes.

Hi,

Achilles Last Stand ... or is it Ulysses ... the really big song on that album after PG ... there, my friends is a real "metal" piece of music for you ... !!! Listen to it again!

Too many of those choices for songs are quite basic blues ... more or less ... used to be called "power blues".

Whole Lotta Love is a lot more progressive than the majority of that whole list!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Either Kashmir, or No Quarter...

My picks are: #1. Achilles Last Stand

#2. The Song Remains the Same

#3. For Your Life

#4. Over the Hills and Far Away

#5. No Quarter

#6. Kashmir, Stairway t Heaven, and Dazed n Confused--just barely qualifying(although "dazed&Confused live was performed progressively). For all those who say "The Rain Song"is progressive, thats just a soft ballad; and for the rest of the Zep Catalog, it was: blues, country blues, blues rock n roll, hard rock/Metal, folk, celtic, and funk.

This. Although as a die-hard folker, "Going to California" and "The Battle of Evermore" are my favorites...

I don't give a s$%t if "The Rain Song" is "just a soft ballad". So is a number of things Steve Hackett wrote. So is "More Fool Me".

To answer the question of the poll: ... I don't know, but certainly NOT "Achilles Last Stand". It's got only about three-four musical ideas (and that goes on and on and on for ten minutes!) that sound very similar to each other in character. No diversity in texture and character almost at all. So not progressive.

Now, some of the choices on this poll are equally progressive and some are so progressive that it's just so hard for me to care. To sum up, I choose not to choose. It's pointless for me to pick just one.

No Quarter

Led Zeppelin is as progressive as Guns And Roses is

if any kind of long song is "progressive" , so "November Rain" is a prog-epic lol:

Carrouselambra is the most obviously prog-intended

The Crunge has amazing polyrythmics !

Built on those silly poor mellow riffs, No Quarter has become this incredible out-of-there-ish studio track, my fav LZ, long time ! Played live it sounds like another bluesy song I probably wouldn't have noticed as a newcomer.

Poll Question: If Led Zep is Prog Related band, which their song is nearest to Prog?
