And let's not get into the whole Zeppelin are thieves crap. **** was going on pretty blatantly back in the day.
If all of the songwriters of the time jumped off of a bridge, should they have done it too?

Bro your kneejerk reaction here is supposed to be that they could never have stolen any songs, not that they are justified in ripping off songs because everyone else was doing it at the time. The latter argument not only concedes that Zeppelin might not have been perfect, it accuses them of being conformists and failing to innovate .
