No Quarter isn't even close to the most proggy Zepp song. Down by
the seaside is more prog, and take a listen to Carouselambra's
synth bass, heavy synth by Jones and changing themes, oh and by the way
it's like 10 minutes long. Makes you wonder how their music would
have evolved if Bonham didn't pass on.

You may be stunned to hear this, but the Creed song, "Who's Got my
Back?" is actually very progressive. Find the MP3 and listen for
yourself if you don't believe me; even though most of their stuff
is pretty sh*tty

Interesting topic. I will have to check out some of the lesser-known suggestions above. Defining artists/bands as progressive or not is a hard enough task; defining individual songs is almost impossible. However, using the progarchives band listing as a litmus test for artists, here are some songs that have always struck me as "prog-rock" to a lesser degree: Paul McCartney - Band on the Run, maybe Live and Let Die Blood, Sweat, & Tears - Spinning Wheel Phish - Maze, maybe some others... Chicago - Beginnings, others... Wishbone Ash - The King Will Come Beatles - Most of Abbey Road, especially 2nd half beginning with You Never Give Me Your Money, have other songs that could be considered prog-lite I suppose |
