To Elemetalman-- "Train Kept a Rollin" originally performed by the Moving Sidewalks??? Huh?? You mean in 1951 when Tiny Bradshaw wrote it and recorded it, or before Johnny Burnette had a minor hit with it in the early 1960s?
You cannot compare Led Zeppelin, a band that has sold over 200 million records and has long been considered the greatest rock band of all time to The Pretenders. The Pretenders have most likely sold a fraction of sales, and countless musicians have been influenced by Robert Plant's godly vocals, John Bonham's thunderous drumming, John Paul Jones's versatility, and Jimmy Page's guitar prowess. I have yet to hear of anyone cite "The Pretenders" as a vital influence.
@TheHuMoCa I love Zep but Page didn't come from a shit town. He came from Surrey, one of the nice, well to do bits of London along with all the types like Clapton and the Stones. Nice middle class art school boys. Plant and Bonham came from the Midlands which is working class territory back in the 50s and 60s.

Funny thing about this song a famous lyrisist sent this to Jimi page to put some rifs down on it
The song was originally performed by The Moving sidewalks. I believe the lyrisist was Clapton.
