Everyone already knows this and still loves zeppelin. ALL bands have influences..
uh, this isnt influence, this is ****ing outright theft. Covered word for word without credit from jimmy page. People are just unable to find fault with their heroes.
The thing with alot of those songs are they were never properly copywrited, giving him full right to legally take the stuff from them and not have to cite anything.

I have no problem with it from a legal standpoint, I have problems when people think jimmy page actually had talent.
So you posted this because you wanted to remind everyone that Jimmy Page has no musical talent? Well we all appreciate you letting us know. This thread was an excellent reminder, just really great. It must've been bothering you, the hundreds of people going around posting about Jimmy Page's amazing tallent.

Alright? I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion as to whether they think Page had talent or whether he was a complete and utter theif. I personally enjoyed a lot of the stuff he played.
Think about it this way: Big bands always have those fans who really enjoy their music and cover their music on youtube or whatever. They eventually get really good at doing the cover and the solo and everything are damn near perfect. Now, does this mean they have no talent as guitarists? Of course not. Does this mean that they may lack talent in the musical writing department? Yeah, probably. And plus, those are 16 out of a ton of Zeppelin songs. And unless you missed some, the remainder of their songs are legit and actual songs.
just because he didn't credit them, you think he is a bad musician/guitarist? how dense are you? if he had credit them, what difference would it have made? Jimi hendrix covered bob dylan songs, but that doesn't make him any worse of a guitarist. Jimmy Page is a very talented musician. He didn't credit those people because he didn't need to. Led Zeppelins versions of the songs are way different than the originals.

Sorry, 16 songs is A LOT of songs to steal music/lyrics from. Especially when you consider how some of those songs were their most remembered ones.
Obviously this doesn't mean Page is untalented, however, it does mean he is uncreative and dishonest.

That makes no sense. Just because you stole something and did it differently doesn't change the fact that you stole it. The original artists do deserve credit.
