You know that retarded prog thing from Physical Graffiti, "In The Light"?

It's one of the greatest songs ever.

The guy who wrote "Dazed and Confused" also wrote "Be All You Can Be" for the U.S. Army.

Actually I guess I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying Zeps original songs were weak compared to their versions of other people's songs.

So I agree with you.

I actually don't. Maybe it's a sign that I'm losing some kind of steam but some of those older versions are completely awesome and I'm going to go check them out.
It's funny because I've never liked most of the old blues stuff I've heard... but watching the video something just clicked and I've got to go find them. So yeah, while I agree that Zep took those songs and made them their own, I think the originals completely kick ass in their own right.

oh, hey, i wanted to remind everyone that i gotta problem with people who gotta problem with zeppelin.

So you disagree with me how?

i agree that they were dicks with credits and royalties. i'm just saying it doesn't invalidate their musical contribution.

well that's one reason. another reason would be that is zep wrote all those songs themselves, they still would not be as good as sabbath.

Yep. So, again, how do you disagree with me? I never said they were shit...

the original "dazed" is sick.

'Immigrant Song' is 'Bali Hai' from 'South Pacific'
