I don't understand how these bands are any less bluesy than Zep so if they don't qualify as blues, Zeppelin sure as hell don't.
That is a primary difference between "new" bands and the "classic" rock groups. Not much blues influence in the new stuff, the influences are the "classic" groups. The Doors could do blues like Zeppelin. The Kinks,
Who and C.C.R., I'm not sure. Too Pop (imo).
