What is appalling is the sheer gall of Zep in just trying to pass off other's work as their own. Other bands (Stone, Cream, Beatles, etc.) often went out of their way to make sure it was known where some of their songs or covers came from; with Zep its like pulling teeth...

I was just sharing when I first heard it, the guys in the clip I posted play them ( the songs) side by side.
It just ruined the aura in my mind, greatest rock band ever, and all the overhype, Robert Plant mock sex moaning in every song, with his tight leather pants with a gym sock stuffed down the front, we get it, you want us to think you got a huge hog, too bad your hog (socks) is not a songwriter.
Stairway was always 1 or 2 on the New Years list the radio does.I never ever got why they were so hot. Forget the tight pants and the gym sock he stuffed in the front of it (even to this day, he did it with that Krause lady too), . Just turned from legend to chump IMHO.
These guys get praise and buttlappings while original bands like Rainbow, Sabbath, Priest, etc got second fiddle.
I for one am happy to see sockboy exposed.
