So there is no doubt that majority of their albums are excellent.  Yes they were overexposed by showbiz  , but behind that they were truly expanding the boundaries of rock music.  They definitely had more "prog" elements than many bands included here in the archives, remaining at the same time "rock" band.

Led Zep, I think, probably would protest being added to the Archives (if they knew about us) because they were always more blues- than classically- or jazz-influenced. The first two albums and Presence are very much blues. III is mostly folk. They aren't prog but pseudo prog.

The Battle of Evermore is one of the most unusual songs to ever make it onto the radio.

Indeed my friend. Indeed. My mom loves every Zep song save for this one.

I've suggested the Various Archives section for bands like Zep, but no one seems to notice.

Every one of Zeppelin's albums are excellent. Okay, except Coda...Zeppelin is amazing.

A good band that has suffered from overexposure... everytime "Stairway to Heaven" comes on the radio, I change the channel in disgust. I've simply heard it way too many times.

Dead right John
I can't stand 'Stairway to heaven',in my view as equally as annoying as Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' & John miles 'Music was what i did for a joke''
