C'mon, DJ Shadow made a whole goddamn album out of sampling other peoples material and you're telling me its no big deal? But Zeppelin playing an incredibly generic simple guitar part that just happens to sound samilar to something another band used is?

Yes, I'm saying that it's not a big deal that DJ Shadow made an entire album out of samples because
"if I were to play you every song that he sampled, then play you his album, I highly doubt you'd be able to specify when each song was being sampled." And no, I don't think the whole Stairway thing is a "big deal". I just think Zeppelin are generally given a little more credit than they deserve and people often overlook the fact that they did plagiarize quite a bit in their earlier days just because they're
Led Zeppelin.
As far as the second half of your post goes, I don't know what the hell you're going on about. Yes, sometimes bands write riffs that sound the same. Good job. Figure that out all by yourself?
