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). ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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. |

The Crunge is prog, so Led Zeppelin are at least 1% prog. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I'll add The Ocean, Achilles Last Stand and The Battle of Evermore - at least 5% by now. This is really getting somewhere. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| What an awesome prog band. |

Sorry Mike I have to disagree with you on that one. The Crunge is funk (it even quotes from Sex Machine). The Rain Song and No Quarter are pretty proggy though. |

Who said that prog cannot be funky. I just meant that it contains some pretty nice rhythmic anomalies. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

How many people have the DVD. I do, but unfortunately, not the HTWWW CD. It's defenitely on my list of "live albums that I must buy", along with Rush's Different Stages. ------------- |

Led Zeppelin is one of my two favorite bands. The other being Dream Theater. Are they a full 'prog' band like Yes, ELP or Rush? Maybe not. But then what are the deffinition of a 'progressive' band? I bet if you made a list, Led Zeppelin would fit most of them. I see them in the same line of progressive music as say, Queensryche and Evergrey. ------------- The good cop and the bad cop left for the day. I'm a different kind of cop. |

Listening to Hoth right now. I just realised, for the first time that there are some words being uttered right before The Crunge. I've owned the album for more then 10 years. How come I've never noticed it before. ------------- |
