So does Bruno Mars. And Maroon 5.

If Maroon 5 grows to be even bigger than Zep (imagined scenario, stay with me), influences thousands of other bands and own 3 Boeings and a cruise ship, does Zep have to hand over the "greatest band ever" trophy?
Agree. I care about the sounds that come out of the speakers when I put the CDs in.
