well hey, it goes round and round, right? there's always been 'theft' of ideas, long as music has been around. sure Zep pilfered old blues riffs and licks and entire songs, even, but they certainly played them with distinction. not giving proper credit was the mistake. they should have acknowledged the artists they were cutting into. but let's not make out that they couldn't write their own material - they certainly had enough of their own creativity to bring to the table. basically though it just goes to prove how the blues which is blueprint of the rock and roll music form. if you can't trace a direct line back from what someone plays now to the blues, well, I don't know what you'd call it, but it sure ain't rock and roll.

Very well put and I totally agree. It is a fact that all modern music comes from the same place..the blues.

It's not a fact because it isn't true.

Okay its my opinion and alot of other peoples. If you watch the Cream farewell at Royal Albert Hall, Jack Bruce expressed the same opinion and I agree with that.
I do not consider rap and hip-hop to be music at all.

Were they actually sued though? Quoting one line from a song during a fadeout is hardly plagiarism.

Nothing is new....it's as straight forward as that. Zeppelin were giants, their shows were incredible. Superb musicians and songwriters.

For various reasons it's a ridiculous opinon and what you consider to be music doesn't matter.
Someone could write something new and intentionally use something which pre-dates blues music as inspiration for their work. This is one of the many ways in which blues has nothing to do with modern music.
Incidentally, in the Dec. 9, 2010 ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE Keith Richards was asked to name his 10 favorite "Roots and Reggae" songs, and #6 was "Piece of my Heart" by Erma Franklin. Keith said of it: "Janis Joplin did a good job covering this. But Erma's got the stuff. She was Artetha's sister. Erma is rougher. Aretha's voice was more pure."Quote

"My Girl Sloopy" was written by Bertrand Russel (Bert Burns) who also wrote the R&B hit "Piece Of My Heart" for Erma Franklin (Aretha's sister) but was also made a hit by Janis Joplin.
