In all honesty if it wasn't for bands like The Beatles, Zep, Pink Floyd, CCR, Frampton, Iron Butterfly, Edgar Winter, Cream, Clapton, and even AC/DC we wouldn't have the music we have today
It's bands like these who shaped rock into what it is today They are the godfathers of rock. They are the foundation of rock/metal
Now If I'm not mistaken on the band, White Snake copied Zep damn near note to note. If it wasn't White Snake it was another Glam band like em.
It's like saying BB King sang the Blues like his father Albert King. BB King is similar to Muddy Waters. Just because all three musicians were Blues singers doesn't mean that they aren't lengendary. All 3 were great. Old School blues is fantastic. At least Waters and BB had a similiar sound doesn't mean they ripped off each others sound.
I just don't see where anyone can say that Zep ripped many other bands off, I still listen to a lot of classic rock and for the time they were quite different. They alone opened the door for so many other bands.
Now if you said The Stones and Aerosmith sounded alike you'd be right.
One last thing. Artistic insipiration comes from other sources. So I'm sure they had there inspirations. Just like every other band.
Para, please. You are embarrassing yourself and wipe up the drool.
The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Edgar, and Cream did much to change the direction of music, as did Traffic, Brian Wilson, Michael Quatro, and Todd Rundgren. These people were "revolutionaries." They saw things differently, and they developed and recorded differently to make the sound as close to what it was in their collective minds as they could to share the vision. I agree that without these people, music would be different, or at least not nearly as far along.
Zep was just another bunch of noise who had the right hook at the right time. And nigga pleaze, don't even get me started with Frampton, you think that the unoriginal, low talent schmuck was the first to sing through a squawk box? His "live" album wasn't even truly live. It was studio work with an audience masked in. Why? Because he absolutely sucked live. Not his fault, most bands do. Aerosmith for example.
CCR was good, and they played well, but not revolutionaries. Iron Butterfly, great stuff, but following the lead that people before them had started, haunting keyboard pieces were brought into the scene by Brian Auger and his "holy hell that sent shivers up my spine" Hammond B playing. Claptop and Cream surely set the stage for a direction, but revolutionary it wasn't. Brilliant musicians, yes.
AC/DC? Ya, OK, talented and slightly edgy. They deserved the acclaim they received, but not ground breaking.
Every band in existence has some debt to pay to someone else. Every song that they play will be reminisce of its influence. That is what keeps music going, its constant evolution of sound. You hear something, then it becomes something else, and so on. Just because it sounds the same, doesn't mean that it is. Music is the original gateway drug.
