   As long as way less interesting bands than Led Zeppelin keep on flooding this site I will repeat that injustice has done to Led Zeppelin  !
The last months I have listened to many The Beatles albums, incredible that this progressive pop is so acclaimed! No doubt that they were highly influential but many albums by Led Zeppelin are superior to The Beatles albums. 
OK, Led Zep was often a full rock band but they also delivered great progressive moments, just watch the second disc of their 2-DVD How The West Was Won, what a great mix of rock, blues, folk and symphonic  !
So it's crap to talk about "a few proggish songs" and "Led Zep has nothing to do with prog", do you need a third ear Chopper and Ricochet  ?

	the statement that "just because some are here, this should be as well" is a thing against which I thoroughly oppose. by that principle working or being considered appropiate, in about three years, this will become a most chaotic archive. Luckily for the moment this "principle" is just a way of mentioning bands and trying to talk things into an addition approval. More that that, if mistakes of additions have been made, refering to the conflictual bands that are here, I think the best thing is to not repeat the mistake, not to continue in the spirit and the rule of that mistake. Led Zeppelin have nothing to do with prog, Chopper said well that "some keys" or even some tunes that could fit DO NOT mean even the closest corelation between the specific band and prog. My vote stands against. P.S.: Eric, making Prog related out of Led Zep seems to me like an offence to Led. How in earth can a full rock band be of the prog related character?! Applying the rule of "not 100% prog" to any kind of music into making it related is against something ambiguous.

	The non-addition of Led Zep prooves that there is something wrong with the addition policy on Prog Archives, way from consequent ! Led Zep rocked and was very progressive on same albums, absolutely no less than Wishbone Ash, Triumph, Magnum, Uriah Heep or Deep Purple, all heavy progressive bands! So comments like that from Chopper above dont' make sense ! LED ZEPPELIN FOR PROG RELATED ! (If it only was to be consequent) Edited by erik neuteboom - August 04 2006 at 08:13

	I think the addition of the might Zep has been discussed at length before here. The general opinion is that, despite a few proggish songs, they do not qualify. You can't be a prog band just because you "used some keys".

	I agree, Led Zep is more prog than many new addtions from the last months! I love the 2-DVD featuring wonderful keyboardwork by John Paul Jones (on Mellotron, Hohner clavinet, Fender Rhodes piano and the Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer) and warm acoustic songs, including the great work by Jimmy Page on Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp, goose bumps, what a killer guitarist!

	All of you know Led Zep have some interesting albums like Phisycal Graffiti, House of the Holy and IV(untitled), for example. Ok their start with blues based hard rock but they development prog folk lines since Led Zep III Come on people! keyboards doesn't mean prog music at all. Well even Led Zep has a bit Led Zep to prog folk place in PA!!! Greetings from Chile
