At least Zeppelin had good tastes in who they ripped off.

@MyWoodstock1 i agree, i think robert plants voice was just better for this song, but i dont think u should be saying it on sonny's vid....

@Blonday92 Plant has a more powerful and entertaining voice but there's something so genuine about Blues being sung by a black man who's almost old enough to know grandparents who were slaves. When Blues is in it's purest form it captures a type of sorrow that privileged people like us will never know and Williamson captures that perfectly.

@vanzeposmith910 They actually did it with 80% of their discography from Zep I to Zep IV(which are basically all their "greatest" albums).

@Blonday92 I'll just ask one question. How can any human being say that someone other than Sunny Boy is better for this song when they're doing the exact same thing? If he(Plant) would've sang a bit different I might agree with what you said, but Plant didn't add/took away anything for it to be better/worse.

@babystinky Yea I know. Physical Graffiti was their best all around album, even though I still find Zep's second album pretty damn good.

@vanzeposmith910

I agree. I am not saying that Zeppelin didn't come up with some brilliant stuff. I used to play a lot of their stuff myself. Physical Graffiti and Presence has some very good stuff. I still think they were great.

[vanzeposmith910]

@babystinky They mainly did it on their first two albums, so at least it wasn't their whole career though. There were some other instances, but not as much as their was then.

@vanzeposmith910

I could understand if it was just one or 2 examples of this going on but it happened to often with them as far as I'm concerned. Last I heard, Jake Holmes is trying to get something happening now in the courts concerning Dazed and Confused, however, he waited to long. That type of 'stealing' and using the works of unknowns and making huge profit off them is inexcusable. They did it before the age of the internet and youtube and thought no one would notice.

@vanzeposmith910

Not really. Bring it On Home was Credited by Sonny Boy. He gave credit to Willie Dixion, Zeppelin had to settle out of court much later on.They definitely stole Jake Holmes Dazed and Confused. Take a look at Paul Anka, he covered a whole bunch of grunge tunes, and he did it using a "Big Band" sound, but he gave credit to the original artists. The lyrics and the music for Bring it On Home were taken no doubt. Babe I'm Gonna leave you is another.

@babystinky They took it and made it in their own way. Everyone stole from everyone! Listen to the resemblence of Steve Miller Band's Jet Airliner and Eric Clapton's Crossroads. Jimmy Page just took and entirely changed the whole composition of the song. IT's not even the same 12 bar blues as someone below mentioned. Everyone had their faults. And listen to other stuff! THe only reason you people diss on Zeppelin is bcus they did it and they were very popular.

btw, sonny boy credited willie dixon for this. what did zepp do with it?
