Genre is opinion to a certain extent, but not that much. Certainly not to the point that Zeppelin are a heavy Metal band all the sudden.

Well i`ve just given you the results of a nationwide vote by metal fans at the time, does that count?

When was this poll taken? Out of curiousity.
Even if Zeppelin was considered Metal then, it doesn't change the fact that Classic Rock and Metal are totally differnt, and that EIMP was dead wrong...again.

Just told you 1990

There are bands that are clearly rock. There are bands that are clearly metal. There are bands that are both at different times, that blur the line. It's forums like these that people discuss things like that.

Well if they were the same how are they different now?

anyways doesn't matter what any of those sites say, any idiot that grew up back then new them as either crap, or a metal band.. You maybe don't see them as a metal band caus some of there stuff seems a little conutry, bluesy, foke... just cause they like to go all over the place.. but they were in fact back then considered to be a heavy metal band. I watch VH1 a fair bit and many shows just about them. Plus I've read a lot about this band, all of which pointing them out to be the first heavy metal band.

yes condsidering there last record was like in 1980. They never changed anything about there style they were always all over the place.

Telling me you don't hear the difference from Sepultera and Led Zeppelin?

Do napalm death & Judas Preist sound the same?
