Thoughts: The blog is called Dogmatic blog. It doesn't have the common courtesy to embed audio instead of a link to a blank page. These too things lead me to distrust it. On Led Zeppelin, sure, maybe they didn't give credit to the original artists of all the songs they stole played, their music was great. In no way do a band's morals effect how much I like them. Musicians are horrible people in general. The famous ones, anyway.

I agree with this, but it does matter if you say you like their music when it's not really their music. (Not specifically you, but anyone and for any band).

Perhaps this is a better link?

Also, by all means, if someone can prove that Led didn't steal songs, be my guest. I'm just bouncing these off actual fans of their music as they inevitably know more about it than I do.

I think this would be a good place to point out that only songs from their first album (excluding Stairway to Heaven) were plagiarized. An untold number of bands start out just playing cover songs, and if Led Zeppelin took what must have been relatively unheard of music (Based on the non-existent protest at the time) and made them into memorable classics, then I think, really, it was well worth it. Led Zeppelin has released 9 albums, not including Greatest Hits albums. They clearly are not short on original material. I say what's done is done. Led Zeppelin has good music, and I don't much care to know more than that.

I hate this. First of all, people forget that Led Zeppelin was, first and foremost, a blues band. Blues bands played other people's tunes and even staples of their industry all the time without any credit. Especially with a lot of what was on LZ1, it was regarded as merely blues canon and, while I'm sure Zep knew they were playing other people's songs, they were likely credited because they do not know whose songs they were playing.

Look at any blues band from the era.

Moreover, Stairway to Heaven being ripped off from the band they toured with? Absolutely ludicrous. The song they allegedly stole was an obscure song from a band that had no hits. I find it much more likely that this band stole the riff from Zep. Or one of them came up with it when they were high on this tour and nobody remembers whom. The point being, your links to blogs that supposedly damn Led Fucking Zeppelin as plagerizers is ridiculous. Moreover, the riff they supposedly stole is the least awesome part of Stairway (The slow intro. Fuck that. We love it when it goes BAM! and we're suddenly not able to slow dance anymore.)


All of this is to say that if you don't like Led Zeppelin, it's because they kick your ass too hard.
