I would have liked to have seen someone go up to Peter Grant back in the day and try to tell them that Zeppelin was ripping off other artists.

I don't think most people would have been stupid enough to say that to Grant's face...they'd have used a process server dispatched to Swan Song's corporate offices. Then Grant would have dispatched Richard Cole to the law office of the plaintiff.

Zeppelin were certainly creative in their own right. As I said Achilles Last Stand is a masterpiece. They also inspired countless musicians and bands. Of course Jimmy Page gets Rock's Roman Polanski award, after 1970 or so there were not a very good live act, and so on. Net-net I like them, but I'd rather be honest with facts than be a bot-nobody looks good in brown lipstick.
