in Led Zeppelin: Innovators or Plagiarists? Audio of 8 Songs Proving They Might Be the Best Cover Band of All Time on Listropolis
First off its no secret that zep used ideas from other artists especially blues stuff but surely this is a nod towards how good they are(or were).Film directors do this and its congratulated.
Also the pentatonic and blues scale has a tendency to seem similar to other songs using it.Basically if you look hard enough you'll find similarities to another song with ANY song.
And finally Led Zep fuckin rocked.
But yeah i enjoyed your post.

ha ha. Thanks. And yes, the pentatonic blues scale - actually anything played in a 12 bar blues, sounds similar, but when the exact words are used, that's a different story. I was a musician for 19 years, and I tend to think that it takes a great deal of talent to find the right song to emulate (steal, whatever). I think this would have all been overlooked had the writing credit been given - who actually reads that stuff anyway?
meh no matt
When directors use subtle hints that reference other movies, they are congratulated. This is not the same thing at all. If a different director were to remake the same movie, without any recognition of the original work, he'd be destroyed by critics.
