I getcha. Once you've heard Zeppelin though, you can pick out which songs are theirs quite easily. Same goes for Pink Floyd. You just can't mix them up with anyone else.

When I started getting into Zeppelin, I discovered I'd heard a lot of their songs before, I just didn't know it was them! I did hear "Whole Lotta Love" when I was little and thought it had the coolest sound--I don't know what instrument it is, but at the end of the refrain there's this kind of whooshing sound that drops suddenly in tone, which as a kid reminded me of an airplane landing. I remember going in this restaurant and playing that song over and over until I didn't have any more money, just because I thought that sound was so cool, LOL! After that I didn't listen to them specifically for years, just caught them on the radio occasionally, until college; and then one day I happened to hear "Black Dog" and said, "Hey, I've heard that before!" Similar experience with Floyd: heard "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" when it came out, didn't listen to them again for years until a friend had me watch the movie in college.
