This is clearly a heavy metal album. Hard rock describes more straightforward music, such as Heart...
This should be labeled as heavy metal.
Do you have any sources to back up this claim ? or just your personal opinion ? Mlpearc (

Comment - The fact that they come from the Blues scene in London, one could say they played Blues Rock really. I'll not say what my personal opinion on Led Zeppelins 'genre' should be, but I think we need a bit more than Hard Rock in the info box, so research is required. Various English/UK bands of this era get the Heavy Metal label due to playing faster than the other Blues men of the day.

PS - I've got the album liner notes at home, which is why I amended the recording and release infobox, as it had said 'at various locations' for years, though I refrained form adding the literally 11 studios they recorded parts of this album at.

I'm not aware that we are. The style guide is clear on what should happen, and given that I've never seen any other example of altering a published text in such a way as in the disputed article (though I'll keep my eyes open for it) the style guide seems to be considered valid.

Ritchie333: Neither of us has made an edit in a couple of days. I've brought the issue up at Talk:MOS, as the guideline Harfarhs quotes was introduced only this July, and without a rationale. Most likely it'll be removed.
