Travelling Riverside Blues and Hey, Hey What Can I Do? are great.

That’s correct.
Incidentally, the Willie Dixon song “I Can’t Quit You Baby” is just so damned smokin’ on CODA. WAY better than the one on LZI. [/quote]
The one thing that kinda bummed me out while reading “Hammer of the Gods” was learning about Zeps taking old blues songs and changing them just enough so they didn’t have to give credit to the originators. I mean we all coulda inferred that “When the levee breaks” wasn’t original seeing as there’s no levees in Wales, but it still kinda bummed me out. Even so, they’re still the best band of all time.
Physical Graffiti for the win. One of my favourite albums. Even better than IV

I believe one of the Ramones [forget which ones are which] even said they were inspired to play the way they did because of Communication Breakdown.
I wouldn’t say that the song was the beginning of punk, but it was a surprisingly big influence.
Physical Graffiti would have been hands down the greatest rock double album ever [yes, better than London Calling] if it weren’t for the fact that on a lot of the songs you can tell Robert Plants voice wasn’t up to his usual standards. Not to mention it’s their last great album, after that the discography gets disappointing.
Not one of they’re more complex songs, but one of the more underrated Led Zeppelin songs IMO:

A LITTLE TRIVIA
Anyone who loves Stone Temple Pilots know that Zep is an influence to guitarist Dean DeLeo.
Listen to their song “Bi-Polar Bear” from the “Shangri-La Dee Da” album.
Go to 2:46 on the track and tell me what Zep song is played as an homage in the guitar solo.
(Sorry, there’s no YouTube video available)[/quote]
Cool question.
Just listened to it. To my ear, the vocals sound “Battle of Evermore”-ish that whole section leading up to the solo, the last couple bars before the solo are similar chords to “The Rain Song” and the solo itself, I can’t really place it if he’s lifting any licks, but after the slide intro, some of the phrasing sounds like “Ten Years Gone” a little to me.
Don’t know!! LOL!
^ thats actually the only Zep song I do not like.

Oddly, LZ is not even close to the first band/artist to do this with previous blues tracks. Essentially, any blue based music heard after Robert Johnson (and a couple of others from that era) has been borrowed/stolen, or whatever from him. Muddy Waters is another artist whose work (riffs/particular chords) have been used by other artists/bands countless times.
Point is, no one seemed to give a damn until LZ became popular. It was only then that Dixon took them to court.
OK, Dwarf (or anyone). Here’s a direct lift of Jimmy Page from another legend.
Start the song at 4:30 just before the solo starts. The ‘lick’ in question is just about at 4:50 to the end.
Note-for-note a classic Jimmy Page run.
What song?

All this Zep love yet no-one has mentioned ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ or ‘When The Levee Breaks’.

I posted a bootleg of Since I’ve Been Loving You on the first page.

You know man, I’ve heard that Lightning Hopkins is the most sampled blues musician of all time though I didn’t see any evidence to back this up.

I was referring specifically note-for-note to the first part of the guitar solo… and yessss, you are correct, Sir! That would be “Ten Years Gone”.
There are also 3 Dio-era Sabbath songs that I know of which are very obviously influenced by Zeppelin… at least in parts.
I’ll list them later after I listen through my catalog.

I wasn’t guessing. The note progression starting at 4:50 sounds very similar to part of Good Times Bad Times.

The sound quality of this clip isn’t the best, but the opening riff he plays has been borrowed many times over the years. You’ll probably recognize it.
