Yeah, but everything is infulenced by everything good that came before it, and you don't need to look past the bands that have clearly been influenced by Zep in the last 30 years to see their HUGE impact.

Not overrated, not at all.

Agreed, I suppose. All music is like that, for better or worse. I don't think the word "orginal" has had much bearing in music ever, although at least back in the days Zeppelin was using ideas from bands to make good music. And, they were pioneering music in a sense, so more power to them. It's to bad bands don't do that nowadays...Trapt, Nickleback, Alter Bridge....uggh. Utter unoriginal, uninfluential crap.

My dad pointed out, just the other day, the staying power of bands like Zeppelin and The Beatles. It's amazing that those bands, 30 and 40 years old, still get major airplay. What's even more amazing is that you can still hear Beatles/Zeppelin influences in modern music today. Oasis and The White Stripes are two fine examples.

Hey! Don't pick on Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti rules.
