 Topic: Put Led Zeppelin on the archives!
Posted: August 04 2005 at 13:18 |

Know that we have queen we can have led zeppelin. They had some very progressive songs and albums. Listen to Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffitti, In Through the Out Door and you will see what I meen. There are tons of influences of world music on all there albums, and fell they are mopre progressive than queen. John Paul Jones is also a very skilled keyboardest that dosn't get the attention he deserves. I say we add Zep once and for all.

SHUT UP!!!
And no, Led Zeppelin is not more progressive than Queen. Queen is pushing in, Led Zeppelin is tearing it!

We might introduce a special category for bands that are "almost" prog ... in the meantime: No, they shouldn't be added. What's their Queen II ... Led Zeppelin III? Led Zeppelin IV? Presence? Houses of the Holy?

In my opinion neither queen nor LZ should be ain the archives. There isa also much more bands that should be thrown away IMO.

I consider there 'Queen II' to be there 1973 masterpiece Houses of the Holy. The Rain Song and No Quarter are certainly progressive.

What's wrong with ABBA? Very progressive band with great songwriting and amazing arrangements.
I have all Led Zep's albums, and there is a big difference between
progressive and Progressive Rock. LZ have never produced a prog album,
IMO. Not even a proper prog track - and yes, I do know "No Quarter".
I don't think any bands should be evicted - if they're here, they're
here for a reason. Even if some stretch the term a bit... It's all in
the mix, as they say.

Led Zeppelin is very good, one of my favorite bands too and maybe some of Led Zep's songs are a little bit proggy, but I don't think they are prog. All good bands isn't prog and vice versa.

Do you know Steve Vai - Bangkok and the story behind it? Abba were indeed good songwriters ...

Actually Jeff Beck should be here - Jazz-Fusion par excellence.

As much as I love Led Zep, I don't think we should add them. They have
too many blues influences to be truly prog, and this site is getting
crowded as it is.
