re: All time Led Zeppelin rip off songs/artists

The Who, maybe only where Townsend is concerned. He is absolutely not the incredible guitarist people have made him out to be over the years. A good showman on guitar? Yes; an elite guitarist? No. However, Roger Daltrey is top 3 best frontmen of all time, & makes Plant look like a chump. And their music, its longevity & influence, speaks for itself, not to mention their creativity. ...

It is impossible to overrate the Stones & their music, or overstate their popularity & their influence. Not many bands can sell out the biggest venues in the world multiple times, and as senior citizens, no less, and have the massive portfolio of hits to play for over three hours straight, with crowds begging for more. I saw them in the Superdome for their Voodoo Lounge tour in the mid 90s. There are no words to adequately describe their brilliance. They, along with the Beatles, are the most important rock band of all time, imo. ... And all 3 - Beatles, Stones, & The Who - are infinitely better than Zeppelin.
