Led Zeppelin, all throught there career, have flirted with prog more than any other hard rock band. Heres my proof:

1: listen to dazed and confused-almost an early example of prog

2: That freakout part of whole lotta love was unlike anything AC/DC is mentally capable of doing

4: Stairway To Heaven certainly has progressive elements in it

Houses of the Holy: Just listen to No Quarter or The Rain Song

Physical Grafitti:Tons of prog, too much to list, there proggiest album

ITOD: Tons of synths, listen to almost anything on this album

I'm not saying they should be entered on to the list, but the material I just listed can be good entrance level prog.

I dislike the singer and the band's visual style, but they are still OK, maybe...

John Paul Jones did few decent albums which were released by Robert Fripp's DGM. He also did a nice silent soundtrack to the film "The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb". Good film, by the way!

The Crunge is an amazing example of a simple, yet complex sounding track (rhythmically).

I'm a big Zep fan. One of the few non-prog bands I can really get into.

I personally think Black Sabbath were closer to progressive rock of the 70's.

1. Black Sabbath - title track, N.I.B., Sleeping Village, The Warning

2. Paranoid - War Pigs, Planet Caravan, Hand Of Doom

3. Master Of Reality - After Forever, Orchid, Solitude, Into The Void

4. Vol.4 - Changes, Laguna Sunrise, Under The Sun

5. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - everything except Sabra Cadabra

6. Sabotage - Sympton Of The Universe, The Writ and this nice instrumental with choir (can't remember the name)

Well, these are just songs. But compared to LZ they also cared more for album's coherence. Their early albums are very tight pieces of music, not just collections of songs (like LZ's albums except "IV").

Great band, but I don't agree that they show that much of a prog tendency.

Physical Graffiti - well, maybe Kashmir and In The Light but I can't see anything else. Most of their influences were from the blues.

I love  Stairway To Heaven,I find togheter with Child In Time one of the greatest rock ballads of history...but Led Zeppelin is not exactly my style and I listen to it rarely,about once per two months...

Greatest rock band in history period.  Listen to Carouselambra and tell me that it's not prog.

Theyre one of my fave bands, but not progressive.

The song Achilles Last Stand is amazing.

Deep Purple did more flirting than Zeppelin i think.

I'll see you on the Darkside of the moon...

The Crunge is prog, so Led Zeppelin are at least 1% prog.
