III is a highly underrated album. It beats both PG and HotH IMO.

Default led zeppelin

Would you consider led zeppelin to be metal??

I came across a "Top 100 Metal Songs List" some one had compiled, and they had listed several Zeppelin songs on this list implying them to be a metal band..

What is your opinion?

a handful of songs from the better part of a dozen albums worth of material hardly makes a band metal. doesn't mean the songs don't sound like precursors to the metal style though.

if you're looking at a majority of their work, no. while they did have a few tendencies towards it, they had many more dimensions to them than that.

Zeppelin was a pretty diverse band. They did some "metal" type stuff, but many other styles also (blues, country, rock-a-billy, psychedelic, etc..) That's why they are considered one of the best rock bands in the history of music.

Yes, I totally agree. If you listen to their songs in random order it's amazing to hear all the styles they play. You also have to see things in perspective. What's considered metal nowadays doesn't compare to the 70s but you sure hear where it's coming from. And many metal bands are inspired by bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Cool, I was very confused for a while. And yeah, they are one of the greatest bands of all time.

Yet they did none of them particularly well and blatantly stole most of their material.

No, much of their output is hard rock, but they aren't even close to being metal.

Wow the chorus to a song sounds simular to the chorus of another song boo hoo. They played covers like any other blues band.
