That's just it; bands such as Led Zep and Deep Purple are being placed in both genres, which for me makes the genre heavy metal even more hard to grasp. I mean: Black Sabbath was pretty much from the same time, right? I can hear the difference between Sabbath and Led Zep and going from there, I can't see why Led Zep is considered heavy metal.
