All memeing aside, is Led Zeppelin the most talented group of all time?
>Robert Plant: Incredible vocal range, even at his current age (watch Celebration Day)
>John Bonham: Often ranked as the best drummer in rock history. So good that people thought he was using a double bass
>Jimmy Page: Considered one of, if not the best guitarist in rock history. Inspired multiple generations of guitar players
>John Paul Jones: The "forgotten" zeppelin is still an accomplished bass player and organist
Musically talented, yeah.
They are the most talented at ripping off dead black musicians, yes
Now back by popular demand! A list of some of the songs Zep stole from other artists:
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A folk song by Anne Bredon, this was originally credited as "traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page," then "words and music by Jimmy Page," and then, following legal action, "Bredon/Page/Plant."
"Black Mountain Side" - uncredited version of a traditional folk tune previously recorded by Bert Jansch.
"Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson).
"Communication Breakdown" - apparently derived from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."
"Custard Pie" - uncredited cover of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down," with lyrics from Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Daddy."
"Dazed And Confused" - uncredited cover of the Jake Holmes song (see The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes).
"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" - uncredited version of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down."
"How Many More Times" - Part one is an uncredited cover of the Howlin' Wolf song (available on numerous compilations). Part two is an uncredited cover of Albert King's "The Hunter."
"In My Time Of Dying" - uncredited cover of the traditional song (as heard on Bob Dylan's debut).
"The Lemon Song" - uncredited cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" - Wolf's publisher sued Zeppelin in the early 70s and settled out of court.
"Moby Dick" - written and first recorded by Sleepy John Estes under the title "The Girl I Love," and later covered by Bobby Parker.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine" - uncredited cover of the Blind Willie Johnson blues.
"Since I've Been Lovin' You" - lyrics are the same as Moby Grape's "Never," though the music isn't similar.
"Stairway To Heaven" - the main guitar line is apparently from "Taurus" by Spirit.
"White Summer" - uncredited cover of Davey Graham's "She Moved Through The Fair."
"Whole Lotta Love" - lyrics are from the Willie Dixon blues "You Need Love."
>copies them
>does them much better
What's the problem?
This thread is about their musical talent. Everyone knows they stole shit, but everyone also knows they're fucking godlike on insutrments
>ooooh yeaaah ooooh yeaaaahh oooooh yeaaaaah
>twingy twingy twaaaang
>baby baby baby baby baby
Wow much better
Ozzy is a better vocalist
Tony Iommi is a better guitarist
Geezer Butler is a better bassist
Bill Ward is a better drummer
Excessive plagiarism is indicative of a lack of musical talent.
