I recently bought that $100+ boxed set of all the Led Zeppelin albums,
so I've been listening to them a fair amount (though not perhaps as
much as I would if I hadn't already heard most of the songs hundreds
of times on the radio!).
Anyway, I would have to definately say that they are *not* a prog
band, but they do have some proggy songs. Here are the ones that I
would concider to be fairly proggy...
"Stairway To Heaven" [untitled 4th album]
"The Rain Song" [Houses of the Holy]
"No Quarter" [Houses of the Holy]
"Kashmir" [Physical Graffiti]
"In The Light" [Physical Graffiti]
"Achilles Last Stand" [Presence]
"Carouselambra" [In Through The Out Door]
Now personally I think these are all great songs, but are they great
prog songs? I dunno. If a "full" prog band played them I don't know
if they'd actually be "proggy" enough, whatever that means. Who
knows. Anyway, I'm just rambling.
