I think what happens is that the defintion changes and the goalposts get moved over time. No way would I ever consider zeppelin metal though, not in any time. They are a rock band, good for their time but really pretty average in the grand scheme of things, particularly relative to some of the talent that exists out there today. Of course people who grew up with this music will object to this. Music is always at its best when it was what you "grew up with."
But the truth is that music progresses. Things have gotten harder and faster overall, and these old bands just fall out of the metal genre, even if they were there to begin with. Perhaps in their time they were hard enough to be metal, I just don't really think at this point they qualify. Classic rock would be where I categorize them, if I had to.
