Fair enough. But they should not have waited to be sued to do that. If they'd just come clean from the beginning and said "Hey, some of our songs are based on other artist's material," and been open about it, none of their greatness would have suffered. By not doing that they left themselves open to being undermined by plagiarism charges.

Bottom line: It was not a smart move for Page and Plant to have done that.

I wasn't bragging about owning their albums. Just stating a fact about what is printed in the credits.

You should have heard Graham Bond in his poorest days (ie, when he had no money at all, which was most of the time). He would gig with a drummer. Apart from that, he played the Hammond (keyboards and pedals), sax at the same time, and (alternately) sang.

Sorry. I cared about Black Mountain/Waterside before Page. He took Jansch's arrangement verbatim, then slung in a boring bit of grunge before finishing it off. Talking about boring pieces: listen to Frank Zappa's version of Stairway to Heaven; that more or less sums up Page's talents.

Congrats on owning all Zep albums! *sarcasm* (there's only 9 of 'em, so it's not hard to own them all.) And yes, there are examples of Zep's "borrowing" other artist's songs without giving them credit on almost every single one.

Look, Zep was a great band, they did write many great tunes that are originals, but they still deserve to be called out for swiping whole songs-- lock, stock and barrell-- without giving credit. That's a 'bush league' move, period.

I own every damn Zep album ever produced, There are plenty of artist other than those in Led Zeppelin that are credited as writers. I'm guessing your a sour Beatles fan with some kind of unhealthy dislike to Zeppelin because they were almost as big as the Beatles with out ever writing a song aimed at pre teen girls like I Want To Hold Your Hand.

Moby Dick= the rock 'n roll is done on that fuckin' riff. A million people used it, from elvis presley to the beatles. -.-

my god you're stupid. i hope someone kills you.

Did you hear how boring and bland these songs were? Zeppelin took these seemingly boring and unrecognizable songs and not only got them to be better but also brought them attention, without Zep no one would even care about those songs

The word is Yeah not Ya and its Would Not not Wouldn't, Before you try to act smart make sure you have no spelling / grammar errors oh and your insults are terrible, I take it you have no friends.
