For example, Led Zeppelin's Good Times, Bad Times definitely has a tonic which is E, even though the dominant chord B major is only used in passing and most of the song is just E major and D major. Just because the harmony isn't what we expect it to be does not mean there isn't a tonic or a chord that is preceded as a tonic. I do understand the argument, but like I said before there will be a tonic when a melody is placed on top of the progression | |
