while there's no denying zeppelin was influenced by the blues to call them purely a 'blues' band is selling them short.

i'd be far more offended to not see a LZ song on a vh1 list of 'greatest hard rock songs' than to have them in the top10. does 'the immigrant song' really sound like the blues? how about 'kashmir' or 'achilles last stand' or 'the ocean'.

simply put led zeppelin is the hard rock band by which all others are compared whether anyone involved likes it or not.
