A few years ago, I found myself going thru all the led zep albums looking for this opening riff I had stuck in my head. Without even second guessing myself, I said "ok, this is a Zeppelin song... But which one!?!?"
Long story short, I later discovered by accident that the guitar riff I had in mind was actually the opening riff of The White Stripes' - Icky Thump.
With that said, I still think it's a pretty good song, but derivative for sure...
