I hope to god that is a joke. First off because something is a cover song means nothing. Blues has always been about covers and updating them with the times. So All Along the Watchtower or Born Under A Bad Sign were not revolutionary because they were covers? Thats a joke. Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 were released in ONE YEAR. I really would like to see your argument defending the fact that brought nothing new to the table.
Whats the reason for nearly every rock guitarist siting early LZ as amain influence? Because they were nothing new?
edit: Even Ritche Blackmore aroudn the time of machinehead and Fireball admited to his main influence for what what considered one of the heaviest albums ever recorded was the first couple Zep albums.
