Carouselambra, without a doubt. Prog meets depression meets the 10 o' clock news theme.

No Quarter always sounds very progressive to me (But then again, what does that mean?)

"Achilles' Last Stand," the best thing LZ ever did.

Depending on which live version you watch, No Quarter or Kashmir could win the poll. However, as it is on record, they're not really very "progressive" at all.

I voted for Achilles as well, but it was hard not to vote for The Rain Song, which is such a spectacular work, one of Zeppelin's very very best.

"Stairway to Heaven", but I should have checked some of the songs that I still haven't listened.

But, anyway, I could hardly vote for "Kashmir", because of its repetitive and obsesional structures, or "Dazed and Confused" which I remember as being rather usual in its writing (verse-verse-chorus-verse or do I have a wrong memory of this song?)

No Quarter

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout.

No Quarter for me and Achilles second, with Stairway third.

Very good list, apart from forgetting Achilles

However, Since I've been, Tea For One and Nobody's Fault are nothing prog, IMHO

the first two are killer blues, and the third is pure Rock'n Roll

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I apologize to all Achilles Last Stand´s fans. If I thinking back about it, this one is in fact Prog Metal piece, 4 years before first Iron Maiden and 13 years before first Dream Theater...

But I cannot add this song additionally, however.

I voted Other for Achilles Last Stand. Very surprised it wasn't on the list...

In The Light would be my 2nd choice.

How in the world is Achilles Last Stand not on this list?

This song occured me too. But I don´t mean it´s Prog in strict criteria. It´s excellent of course nevertheless the rhythm is quite level-toned.
