I suppose this has already been beaten to death, (since it at least has to be a half-hour old news, hehe..) but i didn't see any thread about it, so... since when is led zeppelin on the site? Not that i midn or anything, but... i thought it was decided that they weren't gonna be here, period? :)

They were added today, owing to a good part of the site in favour of their addition and admin MAX"s support... The main reason being their influence on Prog bands and an abundance of prog elements in their music.

And so it begins....
LZ was added because it is the wishes of the owners of this site that they be added.
Pay attention to their classification please.They are here as Prog Related,which does NOT mean they are prog,but that they had a hand in influencing the development of progressive rock.

No. i know, i think that they might actually deserve a place in "related", i was just so surprised to see them. And even more surprised that i couldn't find a topic on it already, haha..

Oh, what the heck. Just for the sake of argument (er., 'conversation'), wouldn't that by definition make them Proto-prog?

I know. They were formed and recorded their first album in 1968, and it was released in January 1969.

Yes but you also don't see U2 or Green Day being added. If that's the case, it should just be called Rock
would make that classification correct And so it begins...

I think what I find most interesting is the timing of all of this, right before Thanksgiving so fewer people see it.
Strange how everything is run.

I don't have a problem with Zeppelin being here, although we may be headed on a nasty slippery slope where some really questionable bands get added. Hopefully that's not the case.
With bands like Zeppelin and Iron Maiden being added though, Black Sabbath seems to stand out like a sore thumb (in my mind) as in example of "why not them too?"
Sabbath was clearly very important in the evolutionary cascade of early 70's metal -> new-wave-of-british-heavy-metal -> 80's thrash -> prog-metal. And remember, as is always important in these discussions, I'm arguing that they are prog-related and therefore not a prog band.
