Led Zeppelin were NOT a blues rock band

[Raja, The Great]

They were not blues rock because they didn't do enough blues rock.
They are hard to categorize because they were not completely hard rock
either. They were heavy metal neither. It is silly to categorize a
band which did all sorts of music.

They made 84 songs on their eight studio albums + leftover compilation
CODA. Out of that only these songs are considered as blues rock (by
wiki).

You can get a genre classification of every song of theirs starting
with their first song Good Times Bad Times
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Times_Bad_Times

Songs listed as blues rock
----------------------------------------
1. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You --- Led Zeppelin I
2. You Shook Me (cover)
3. Dazed and Confused
4. I Can't Quit You Baby (cover)
5. How Many More Times

6. The Lemon Song --- Led Zeppelin II
7. Heartbreaker
8. Bring It On Home

9. Since I've Been Loving You --- Led Zeppelin III
10. Hats Off to (Roy) Harper

11. When the Levee Breaks ---- Led Zeppelin IV

12. Dancing Days ---- Houses Of The Holy

13. In My Time of Dying ---- Physical Graffiti
14. Black Country Woman

15. For Your Life --- Presence
16. Tea for One

17. We're Gonna Groove (cover) ---- Coda
18. Poor Tom
19. Travelling Riverside Blues (their best
blues song ever)

So out of 84 songs in 9 albums, only 19 were blues rock. And if you
exclude covers then only 16 out of 81 = 20% of their songs.

It was easier for the media to simply classify them that way. But I
think in the end Led Zep were more of a "Hammer of the Gods" then
blues-rock.

That is a good position. Rooted in blues makes sense, but calling them
blues rock is stupid. Deep Purple had roots in classical too. And both
John Paul Jones and John Bonham were heavily influenced by jazz and
funk.

funk.

As Led Zeppelin's rhythm section-mate with drummer John Bonham, Jones
shared an appreciation for funk and soul rhythmic grooves which
strengthened and enhanced their musical affinity.[26] In an interview
he gave to Global Bass magazine, Jones remarked on this common musical
interest:
Yeah we were both huge Motown and Stax fans and general soul music
fans, James Brown fan. Which is one of the reasons why I've always
said that Zeppelin was one of the few bands to "swing". We actually
had a groove in those days. People used to come to our shows and
dance, which was great. To see all the women dancing, it was really
brilliant. You didn't necessarily see that at a Black Sabbath show or
whatever: So we were different in that way. We were a groovy band. We
used all our black pop music influences as a key to the rock that went
over the top.[27]

To think that Peter, the manager decided to drop the "a" in Lead
because he seriously thought that the "thick Americans" would call
them "Leed" .

And any kid who wanted to be a recording engineer or a producer loved
Page's production work.

But, you're spot on. My favourite Led Zep tunes are not the blues
tunes. Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti were profound.
Very little blues.

I saw Plant recently and he was astounding. His band was
brilliant. It reminded me of when I caught Robert Gordon with Slim
Jim Phantom, Glen Matlock and Chris Spedding. But Roberts band was a
bunch who weren't famous to me. Awesome.

He's such a great artist and draws on such great talent. I never
expected Plant to be as he is these days.

I love the yardbirds. My favorite of all the British invasion bands.
Unlike the Stones, Kinks or The who, yardbirds were a sincere blues
rock band. I wish Jeff beck stayed longer with them. But then there
would be no Zeppelin.

Without Page's production and Jones' arrangement skills Zeppelin
wouldn't sound half as brilliant

The gay hissy fits don't change anything. Plant knows their music better

I have seen them live in many movies - They kicked ass absolutely in
Led Zeppelin DVD (Live At Albert Hall - 1970). Thats one of their best
performance. I have many audience tapes and bootlegs. And they were
incredible in the 1968-75 period. The best live band ever, along with
Deep Purple and Hawkwind. No one comes close really.

Robert Plant really had nothing to do with music except his excellent

I find it hard to believe that Plant didn't come up with many or most of the

Most of the instrumental sections were composed by the rest of the

added some nonsense lyrics ;-) He could have sung in Greek and still
the songs would have been freaking amazing. I think Plant got the

Most of the instrumental sections were composed by the rest of the
band when they were jamming.

Also not convinced that most of their songs were as the result of jamming.

I think Plant got the credits because of the lyrics.

Granted, but I still think he would also have come up with many of the vocal
melodies not just the lyrics.

He did come up with the softer more folkier ones. But the others are
purely the result of the rest of the band trying different riffs and
solos. You think Plant was directing the instrumental sections? He
could hardly play the guitar.

At no point have I mentioned or suggested that he did...I was only talking
about the vocal lines.

What does a vocal line mean, especially for a band like Led Zeppelin?
They were not like the Beatles in which the words dictated the melody
of the song. It was reverse. Led Zeppelin were Yes in that regard.
Nonsense sentences thrown in that sounded cool and followed the
instrumental melody of the rest of the band.

What does a vocal line mean

For ANY band, including Led Zeppelin, it means the tune the vocals follow.
It doesn't mean the words.

Okay so in case of Led Zeppelin, most of the tunes were already
composed by the time Plant started adding his vocals. Don't you think
so?

Tunes tend to have to be composed before you can record them. I don't
know of many examples of a totally improvised vocal line. The thing is
here, who composed the tune for the vocal line - and there is no
conclusive proof that it was Plant or that it wasn't Plant. There is,
though, a suggestion in some stuff I've read that Plant did contribute
in that department. See the wiki article on Stairway - it doesn't say
explicitly, but it does suggest that maybe the vocal melody was
Plant's.

I believe I have made my position pretty clear. I am of the opinion that
Plant came up with many or most of the vocal melodies, certainly more and
more so as their career went on. I don't believe he was "only" providing the
lyrics and the voice.

Clear indication that Plant joined in later (and this was the case not
just with Stairway to Heaven but many more of them).....

"I had these pieces, these guitar pieces, that I wanted to put
together. I had a whole idea of a piece of music that I really wanted
to try and present to everybody and try and come to terms with. Bit
difficult really, because it started on acoustic, and as you know it
goes through to the electric parts. But we had various run-throughs
[at Headley Grange] where I was playing the acoustic guitar and
jumping up and picking up the electric guitar. Robert was sitting in
the corner, or rather leaning against the wall, and as I was routining
the rest of the band with this idea and this piece, he was just
writing. And all of a sudden he got up and started singing, along with
another run-through, and he must have had 80% of the words there ... I
had these sections, and I knew what order they were going to go in,
but it was just a matter of getting everybody to feel comfortable with
each gear shift that was going to be coming."

Again, you've misinterpreted me. I'm not talking about the timeline of his
input. Your quote is a indication that my supposition that Plant came up
with the vocal lines (by which I mean tunes/melodies, not just the lyrics)
is correct. It also suggest that his input to Stairway was contemporaneous
to Page developing the instrument parts with Jones and Bonham anyway. Page
was working on the instrumentation, as you've rightly said, then Plant came
in with the vocal part.

I really don't see Plant as being just a singing lyricist. He's clearly more
creative than that. I'm not saying Page never came up with the vocal tunes,
I'm just saying that I think Plant came up with an awful lot, if not most,
of them.
