2.) The list has fifteen songs. Each of their albums has like 8-10 songs on it. 3.) Quite a few are well-known covers; it’s not as if it was a secret (for example, “In My Time of Dying,” which sounds COMPLETELY different than the other versions. The vocals, guitar, etc. are pretty damn original in my opinion. I feel the same about a lot of the blues songs, though I understand the blues singers deserve the credit (though again, how many other bands did or have done the same thing).

To say “Black Dog is a rip off of Oh Well” seems a bit off a stretch. Sure there are similarities.

Also, people cite “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” as another example. Didn’t they hear that from Joan Baez’s record? Again, not exactly what you’d call a secret.

Jimi Hendrix covered “Red House,” and people think that is a ripoff of Buddy Guy. Or what about the guy who wrote “Hey Joe?” How many people recorded that song in the 60′? (Hendrix, Love, The Byrds, The Leaves to name a few),

To say “Jimmy page is a fraud and led zeppelin is a glorified cover band” strikes me as something someone would say who just doesn’t like Led Zepplein.

What about songs like “Going to California,” “The Battle of Evermore,” “Ramble On,” “What is and What Should Never Be,” “Heartbreaker,” “Kashmir,” “In My Time of Dying,” Achilles Last Stand,” and other great songs from the III through to Coda?
