Yeah, I don't really consider them metal either. I tend to bristle at the notion that MOTORHEAD is a metal band, so...
When I think of early metal I think of Sabbath and Deep Purple primarily.
When it comes to Zeppelin, I tend to blame the whole mid-to-late-80's "hair band" phenomenon on them. Whitesnake, Skid Row, etc. Blech.
On the bright side, the late-80's/early-90's Seattle scene was also heavily influenced by Zep according to Chris Cornell and Jerry Cantrell.
