I would definitely not say they are overrated, although they are severely discredited with certain ideas, by most people.

They werent too original no, but neither were The Rolling Stones, since they often did the same things people accuse Led Zeppelin of doing, like reusing the sound of old blues musicians and giving it a extra punch, The Stones even did it more consistantly....Its not like blues rock was all that Zeppelin did, they have MANY good songs that dont really fall into the blues rock category.
Im not bashing The Stones, dont get me wrong, i think they're great.
