Zeppelins Prog Songs

Instead of arguing about the Zep and weather or not they are prog, lets just have this thread to talk about our love for the songs that are prog. Its one's opinion if they consider Zeppelin prog and lets just leave it at that...

My fave Prog Zep would be:

Achilles Last Stand

Battle Of Evermore

Kashmir

No Quarter (Song Remains THe Same version)

Dazed And Confused (Song Remains The Same Version) I think that this version is accualy there most prog they ever showed. Especially their amazing rendition of Scott Mckenzie's "San Fransisco" (for all you guitar players out there, the prelude to that section is acuaally the riff from the "I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way..." section from "Achilles Last Stand" slowed down, which sounds amazing. The Bow solo also is also in my opinion one of the greatest moments in music history!

ALL OF MY LOVE IS VERY PROG

oops, forgot about that one...

i think it may even be my fave Zep track, its so powerfull and moving. THat whole album has an amazing sound unlike any other Zeppelin, it was more of a "Jonesy" album. but seriously, john Paul Jones' keyboard and classical guitar solos in that song blow me away. Its also evidence that Robert Plant was one of the most powerfull singers around, even when he was starting to lose his voice at this time. You can really tell the group was very emotionally involved on this track.

PICK UP In Through The out Door!

The Song Remains the Same

10 Years Gone

Acilles Last Stand

Carouselramba

Fool in the Rain

South Bound Suarez

Kashmir (Especially the Page & Plant version)

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You

What Is & What Should Never Be

Friends

Quite a few...If you are open minded enough to listen for it :D

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.

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

Led Zeppelin is prog. And The Ramones are prog too!

Blitzkrieg prog
Sheena is a prog rocker

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.
