I agree.
It's just a little strange that people keep insisting on posting these threads in the prog lounge. If you take a look at the first page of the prog lounge, you'll see just how many threads we've had to move (the ones with a green arrow), because people just use it regardless of the topic. My guess is that it's because the prog lounge threads also feature on the frontpage, and perhaps moreover because people don't give a feck.

'How does Led Zeppelin fit into a progressive site as Progarchives is an ongoing debate, with many in favor, but also some objections. Basically Led Zeppelin wasn't a progressive rock band, but they used progressive textures and progressive elements in their music, but above all they influenced many progressive bands over the years, from YES, to JETHRO TULL, from RUSH to SPOCK'S BEARD, without Led Zeppelin rock and progressive music wouldn't be the same' It is not from me but from PA |

They were very progressive for their day, I totally agree, but they were more of a progressive blues rock band than an actual prog band. That's also why we have them located in prog related (and why I moved the thread).
Led Zeppelin were no more a prog band than say The Doors, The Beatles, Queen or David Bowie - acts who all are featured on PA, but in prog related because of their occasional flirts with our much beloved genre, and perhaps more importantly how some of them influenced prog rock and on some occasions even helped it being pushed forth.

I like my Zep raw and bluesy (Zep I and II), or the Jimmy Page does Joni Mitchell/Sandy Denny act (Zep III). When Zep got proggy, that's when they're least credible....they always pushed the Dungeons and Dragons shyte and the Tolkienesque, but I never bought it. Seemed an easy way to reel in the teenage zomboids. |

Ya sure, but what im saying is that to me it makes no sence to look for the progg'ish tracks. Most Zep tracks is just great, no matter if they have some prog elements or none at all. Edited by tamijo - September 04 2014 at 10:49 |

Zep great? Yes. Prog? No. Can't understand why people don't appreciate them for what they are.

Huh! Can't understand why you think that I don't appreciate what they are? Did you take the time to read my posts? This is your sixth comment in that topic. If you don't like it just pass bud One day before my post someone started a topic titled The most proggy songs by The Who? Nobody gave him sh*t. Well! I hope you won't now.

Led Zeppelin was as proggy as Pink Floyd. Or The Who. Or Jethro Tull. Or Queen. They played whatever the hell they liked whenever the hell they wanted to because they sold a sufficient enough amount of albums during their heydays to be able to dictate to the record companies -- Zeppelin even formed Swan Song to get more freedom...and cash. Some Zep albums have prog elements just like some Tull albums have very little prog elements, yet people get their panties in a wad about artificial record industry categorization and try to pigeon hole bands when it's likely the bands themselves cared little for such restraints at the time. If you look at an album like Physical Graffiti, I don't see how anyone would assume it was not progressive. |

As an old Led Zeppelin fan, I saw them as a multi-talented and multi-faceted band. They could wail out electric blues, play straight ahead rock and roll, get all folksy and "pastoral" or do proggy fantasy with the best of them. Each of these sides appealed to me in a "different styles for different moods" kind of a way. In short, they were four very talented musicians that could successfully turn their hand to many styles/genres whenever they wished. I will admit that I favored the more proggy pieces myself though.

"Steve G : Time to stop bending groups that Prog members appreciate into pseudo Prog groups. The fact that Zep would have laughed at the comparison back in the day should say it all. Did they have prog elements, sure, so did the Beach Boys with Good Vibrations. "
I don't disagree with that and many of the bands that are listed under 'prog related' here have never really sounded proggy at all to me compared to actual progressive rock groups, but then I suppose that's why they are listed under 'prog related'.
