True, but in fairness, Led Zep catches a lot of flack for stealing songs, not just guitar licks: The Lemon Song, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Dazed And Confused (and the composer of that one, Jake Holmes, isn't even a blues artist)...the list goes on and on. I agree with a lot of the criticisms of Zep: stealing songs, bombastic, etc. But they were still great, regardless. They were my favorite band growing up, and I still retain a fondness for their music--well, most of it, anyway
