what are the songs where Led Zep did vocal harmonies?
Not many, as Brenski pointed out. But I'm pretty sure Tangerine is the only one where all four of them sang.
there could be more - but then we'd be getting into semantics with regard to double-tracking, phasing and genuinely sung background harmonies, i suppose.
Aye. The Purple/Rainbow/Sabbath system is a pretty big one.
Blackmore leaving Deep Purple has a huge ripple effect. Metal as we know it probably wouldn't have happened.
Dont forget Blackmore was going to quit Purple along with Ian Paice and were already recording with Phil Lynott. The world would be a sad place with no Rainbow, no Dio, no Thin Lizzy or Whitesnake (except Roger, who I think would be very happy!)
Also everybody's favorite singer (?) Paul Rodgers was supposed to be in Purple as replacement for Gillan...
great point winterspelt. wouldn't it have been great to be a fly on the wall at any recording session with Blackers, Lynott and Paice?
never heard the PR/purple one before - that'd been interesting, although very Coverdale-esque...
the only thing that i can't get over in the Purple history is that (two very good/great albums aside) - gillan has made a great living out of being able to scream and yell. don't get me wrong - his voice can be good - but generally it's not inspiring. It was always Lord/Blackers and Paice that impressed me in Purple

Say's who - different styles both the pinnacle of their type. Anyhow, Brian & Roger's previous band Smile, would've been better suited to Plant. Only issue would be that - at that time Plant brought Bonham with him - so Roger woulda been back to being a dentist.

You can't get better. Zep already were the 2nd biggest band of all time - after The Beatles.

you make a statement like that ^^^ and then call others idiots.? Identical lyrics make a song a cover - lyrics are easy to search and identify. Melodies and arrangements are what gets bands into legal issues..
Freddie "changing lyrics" would've save them no legal proceedings at all. You can fuck about with lyrics all you like - but it's cosmetic....as Zep would say: "The Song Remains The Same"
Your stupidity is sad. Page even joked that Plant was supposed to change the lyrics buy couldnt. Freddie was a superior songwriter and vocalist. They were in the same genre genius

Some people dont understand this......who's 'better' is totally subjective....
Same genre? OK, maybe you could call both Queen and Zeppelin "rock" bands, but they're hardly similar.......Zep was hard blues-rock/metal.......maybe Queen sounded Zeppelinesque on their early albums, but they didnt stay that way.......

Really, that's very subjective. South bound Suarez or hot dog.... that's all I need to say
are you joking? Southbound Suarez and Hot Dog? really? you pit them against Body Language and Man On The Prowl?
The first two are really good songs - and Hot Dog being a fine example of how rock bands should do RnR. Suarez is a really interesting song showing the diversity of a mega rock band.
the two queen songs are just shite.
I find the original question kind of silly, but for whatever reason, I find it way easier to imagine Freddie singing Zep, than Plant singing Queen songs......(not counting the instances we've had of both!)
and Physical Graffiti's one of my favorite albums of all time.....guess you could call that diverse! :D
Aha, an In Through The Out Door apologist !! Welcome, sir.
not really. i do kinda like the album tho - it was one of the first albums i bought with my first month's pay when i started work. I'm aware of the "demons" around the band at the time - Plant was still dealing with profound loss, and Page was dealing with (ahem) needing dealers.
