Actually I was listening to Hemispheres yesterday on my way to the game shop and I am embarrassed to admit i am starting to warm up to it
I spent over $250.00 on Dungeon & Dragon books....I am such a geek!

I would say Battle of Evermore and Stairway to Heaven are progressive.
By the way Gdub and Easy Livin...Rush is progressive and happen to be my favorite band thank you!!

OK. In my humble opinion, Zep, being an incredible blues-metal-rock band, have produced their share of prog type tunes. I will add a few to Musical Box's list:
Misty Mountain Hop, Hangman, even Celebration Day. I am sure there are others but they escape me right now. happy trails.

I don't think there has been any suggestion in this thread that LZ are prog, TMB was just asking what individual tracks they had done which might be considered prog(like).
We've acknowledged in the past that many bands who are not prog have done the occasion prog stuff, LZ are no different. I think the tracks which have been suggested already are good examples. I agree entirely they are not a prog band, but that does not mean they have never done anything progressive.
It's interesting by the way that self confessed LZ clones Rush appear to be considered prog without question.

Led Zep's prog songs... erm..
The sound of barrel-scraping echoes stridently throughout the prog archives forum.

In 1972 a friend who was devoted fan of Led Zep (but
also Tom Paxton.............), called my collection of Soft Machine,
Yes, Crimson etc. "w**kers Music" . LZ output up to the time would not
be called prog.

Back in the seventies when I began collecting music the progressive rock sections in the retail music stores contained everythin from Fleetwood Mac to Yes. So I guess the term , who's definition nobody on this site can agree with, has acquired different meanings for different people. Most of my friends refer to my music as weird stuff. Before joining this site I would myself reply to people who would ask me what I listened to " Oh, just a lot weird s*** you've probably never even heard of".

In The Light from Physical Grafitti is one of the longest Zeppelin songs and one of my faves.

'No Quarter' is my favourite kind-of-proggy song by LZ: somber, texturial, evocative, ethereal, well-conmstructed.

Zep rules...but prog? They used a mellotron once. Does that make 'em prog? I don't think so. 'Kashmir' has Arabian elements, but the song is actually quite repetitive. 'Achilles' is just long.
I think they're no more prog than Black Sabbath. Or Deep Purple for f**k's sake.

I agree

No Quarter (Song remains the same version  )
Rain Song (Love that mellotron)
Achilles Lasts stand
Cant really add to what been said. Zep were one of the greatest 'rock' bands of the 70's, with a few well placed prog tendancies.

tool have done an incredible cover version of no quarter, extending it to 11 minutes with added proggier sections. that has to be the best cover song i have ever heard. well worth checking out.
