No one in their right mind would say that both Sabbath and Purple weren't heavily influenced by LZ1 - as was just about every other heavy band that emerged in the 70s.

Go suck on that for a while.
That didn't make me like Led Zeppelin's first four albums any more. I was pretty surprised by how much I couldn't stand about half the songs on those albums. I mean, I've listened to Zeppelin albums before, but never really devoted any time to them, so I was expecting to at least be down with 30% of what I heard.
