Zeppelin took a lot of stuff from major players in old acoustic blues. Son House and Muddy Waters are good examples. I still respect Zeppelin though.

Incredible! The intensity of Sonny Boy Williams II and then some. What a presence! I love the line about the four women. Enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck. The voice is close to breaking--authenticity is breath-taking.

Out of curiosity, who are the other two? I'm guessing Leadbelly and Robert Johnson. Of course I love Howlin' Wolf, too.

Even Isacc Newton was a thief.
He said, "If I have been able to see farther than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants."
Its called inspiration and it comes from many things. What amazing things do you really think would come from a person born in an empty room, who lived in an empty room and died in an empty room.
We are all part of it.
