Jim, I thought Led Zeppelin had something to do with the blimp that crashed in the 1930's - was Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin also a rock singer?

That was just a lot of hot air, that got carried away, got shot down in flames, and then came down to Earth with a bang!!

Bah. They just stole a bunch of blues licks and arranged them in a format that would appeal to stoned white kids.
Willie Dixon sued the group - and won - for infringement on the song "Whole Lotta Love" on the second album, copped from his song "You Need Love."

No wonder. It was a blatant copy word for word -- Bob Mann Help save trees. Wipe your ass with an owl.

Heavy rock began waaay before PG.

LZ first hit in 1969 about the same time as Black Sabbath. Cream was doing relatively heavy at least 2-3 years before that as was Hendrix. I think Physical Graffiti came out in 1974 by which time there were all sorts of heavy rock bands around. -- Bob Mann Help save trees. Wipe your ass with an owl.

No wonder. It was a blatant copy word for word
1. Willie Dixon didn't sue - his son did for the estate.
2. It wasn't a rearrangent at all - it was a basically a cover of the Willie Dixon tune. It was a huge screw-up by Zep, which both Page and Plant later apologized for. Page said it was a cover and they just let the credit thing go by without doing anything.
3. Zep invented heavy metal? Give me a break. There was a ton of metal going on in the late 60's before the band even put together. Page was playing heavy metal with other bands prior to creating Zep. Zep was a giant of heavy metal, but they certainly weren't at the forefront of creating it.
4. Zep was a decent band. They weren't innovative or original enough to be considered by most THE best band of all time. Like most heavy metal bands they borrowed heavily from the blues, using very heavy amplification and distortion effects.

And better. Physical Graffiti more or less marked the end of Zep as a hugely popular band. They had been overtaken by Deep Purple, Slade, etc. who in turn fell to dirty little Angus and a host of others in the late 70's.
For longevity it is hard to fault AC/DC. Get a sound, create an image and stick to your guns.

Ozzy has them beat on longevity if you combine his independent years with his Black Sabbath years. --
