I don't think that Zeppelin really fits the bill given the number of ripoff artists they spawned. If that track came out today, I wouldn't think it was new(er). The music is very much of its own time and unless you're completely devoid of music knowledge, I think it sounds 'dated'. That's not a bad thing at all though.

I'm the last guy to try to start trouble, but to this day I do not see the value in Zeppelin's music. Zeppelin, themselves were blatant ripoff artists, (though perhaps they did it to perfection better than any other artist of that period.)

I completely acknowledge Robert Plant's vocals for their supernatural ability to dissolve women's pants on command, but that aside I really don't see the lasting impact of their material.

I may be totally off the mark because I don't "get" the rock scene, but that's where I'm at.
