[Cantankerous]

led zeppelin blatantly ripped off from american blues artists, the stones are a different story. they eventually cultivated their own sound, not necessarily based on the old blues (like zeppelin did) but i guess influenced by it more or less. their early work is obviously influenced by all that old stuff, but later on they kind of came into their own. am i making myself clear enough? the stones sound like...the stones. zeppelin sound more like rip offs. not to say that they weren't good because i do like them.
