Libertines and go for me aswell. I wouldn't say that for Babyshambles, because I don't think they are thought of that highly anyway.

She's Lost Control

Nirvana, for obvious reason, Babyshambles, whatever they're said to be, they are much worse, I saw 'em at Glasto ... >_< Bloc Party are sooo hyped up, I find them so boring.

Name me one band who sounded just like Zeppelin before Zeppelin.

Wow, i thought you said you wasnt this ignorant, i was wrong, ha...Bland?...There are many bland bands, Zeppelin aint one of them, like them or not, they were THE band of the 70s, period, they influenced countless bands, including bands you yourself like...Recycled?...All music pretty much is recyling, you cant name me one band who didnt take ideas from others and reused them, oh Zeppelin took some ideas from blues musicians so that makes them bad, your knowledge of music is lacking, for one thing, most blues musicians use the same licks all the time, many blues players have used the same licks, because 12 barre blues is very limited in how many licks you can play, plus blues players do homages...So if Zeppelin do a lick that sounds like Howlin Wolf, it must mean they ripped off Howlin Wolf and aint nothing but bland, reycled crap.

Give me a break, stop trying to be cool.

Saying Led Zeppelin took some ideas off of blue artists is like saying Green Day took some ideas off of seventies/early eighties punk bands. Seriously, on the technical side, there was very, very little originality in Led Zeppelin, except for John Bonham. However, they had a totally distinct style, which is what makes them a great band and not a bunch of lame blues ripper-offers. I would definitely not say they are overrated, although they are severely discredited with certain ideas, by most people.

They werent too original no, but neither were The Rolling Stones, since they often did the same things people accuse Led Zeppelin of doing, like reusing the sound of old blues musicians and giving it a extra punch, The Stones even did it more consistantly....Its not like blues rock was all that Zeppelin did, they have MANY good songs that dont really fall into the blues rock category.

Im not bashing The Stones, dont get me wrong, i think they're great.

Yeah, I agree with all that, that's what I'm saying. It wasn't technical originality that made Led Zeppelin great, it was their style of playing. And yeah, they had plenty of non-blues songs, but those weren't the kind of thing people hadn't heard before. Not to say that they weren't great songs.
