They were very progressive for their day, I totally agree, but they were more of a progressive blues rock band than an actual prog band. That's also why we have them located in prog related (and why I moved the thread  ). Led Zeppelin were no more a prog band than say The Doors, The Beatles, Queen or David Bowie - acts who all are featured on PA, but in prog related because of their occasional flirts with our much beloved genre, and perhaps more importantly how some of them influenced prog rock and on some occasions even helped it being pushed forth.

'How does Led Zeppelin fit into a progressive site as Progarchives is an ongoing debate, with many in favor, but also some objections. Basically Led Zeppelin wasn't a progressive rock band, but they used progressive textures and progressive elements in their music, but above all they influenced many progressive bands over the years, from YES, to JETHRO TULL, from RUSH to SPOCK'S BEARD, without Led Zeppelin rock and progressive music wouldn't be the same'
It is not from me but from PA

I agree. It's just a little strange that people keep insisting on posting these threads in the prog lounge. If you take a look at the first page of the prog lounge, you'll see just how many threads we've had to move (the ones with a green arrow), because people just use it regardless of the topic. My guess is that it's because the prog lounge threads also feature on the frontpage, and perhaps moreover because people don't give a feck.

Seeing as Led Zeppelin never were a prog band (residing in prog related), I took the liberty of moving this to the non-prog part of the forum. Carry on gents.

Holy moly! I said 'for fun'  I run a Internet Radio Station and sometime I like to add some good songs by non-prog bands. That's why.

I've whittled my entire Zep collection down to 3 comp. CD's. Having a double one isn't really that tough. Now, if you want to do a comp thread let's put a little more pressure on. One CD no longer than 60 min., any prog artist.
Let the games begin.
I'll post my first one once I do a running time check.

There's probably a few more from Houses Of The Holy you could put on. "Over The Hills And Far Away" is quite sophisticated, "Dancing Days" has some awesome chord progressions, "The Ocean" has like a 15/8 verse or something, and maybe even "The Crunge" for being so offbeat. That's pretty much the whole album though  |
Don't forget "the song remains the same" which has about a two minute instrumental introduction.
There are also some proggy things on Physical Graffiti like "in the light."
The initial list also didn't include "Carosalambra" which is arguably LZ's most prog sounding track ever.
