They stole quite a bit and tried to hide it. That alone is criminal hence they were sued many times. Then there are the lyrics. Extremely lame. Zeppelin is best listen if you don’t pay attention to their lyrics.

for me Bruce, don't matter. greatest band ever.they never stole FOR YOUR LIFE that's why I'm Obelisk although Physical Graffiti, IMHO, is the only album you ever need. But on your subject matter, Bert Jansch! c'mon Jimmy, shake it on down! Give respect to !

They did not rip them off! Everyone covers old songs…and they did it better than anyone else that's for sure!

Interesting stuff. Very odd modern credits for Dazed & Confused, and, conversely, for Bring It On Home: Jake Holmes wrote D&C as an original; Page alone wrote the scintillating riff for the second song. Strange credits due to some agreements between solicitors, publishers and musicologists, perhaps?

There have been bands from all countries with different folk cultures throughout history that always used the past to mold the present only to shape the future. Zeppelin did that brilliantly.

In contrast Cream gave full credit to the writers of their songs I'm So Glad by Skip James specifically.

You're a sorry assed piece of shit! Led Zeppelin is the most awesome rock band ever!

No, Led Zeppelin is not a “cover band.” Led Zeppelin is the world’s most spectacularly successful “garage band.”

It’s a crime (not of the century) as long as credit is given where it’s due
Led Zeppelin made a lot of money and love 😉

While the LZ version of Dazed and Confused sounds like a radical rework of Jake Homes song, I once heard the Yardbirds version and that makes the path from Jake Homes to the LZ version is crystal clear.

How about doing one on the songs and bands who ripped of Zeppelin. It's a loooong list. Soundgarden, Sabbath,Whitesnake,KISS, on and on and on…….
