The reality is that ALL rock musicians, all musicians really, "steal" from others. Rock came from blues. None of them, The Who included, came out of a cave and wrote music without taking from others.
Led Zeppelin was a GREAT band.
Oh, yeah, one more thing. 90% of rock is pentatonic scales (you apparently are unaware that there is more than one pentatonic scale). Dumbass.

So if I take somebody's car and make it my own, it's cool as long as I improve it right? They didn't "create", they stole. They stole from Jake Holmes. They stole from Spirit. They stole from Sonny Boy Williamson. They stole from Muddy Waters. They stole from Moby Grape.
No, not all musicians steal their music. If they did, it wouldn't condone it. What a pitiful way to try and cover up the fact that one of your favorite bands were scumbags who couldn't find creativity without ripping off lower bands that they opened up for in the 60's (Spirit).
Oh yeah waterhead, and last thing. Pentatonic scales may dominate classic rock, but when a handful of Jimmy's solos resembled pentatonic scale warmups for a music store guitar class, I'm hardpressed to once again defend these hacks by saying "but everyone else does it!" To hear a guitarist like Hendrix or Darrell Abbott revolutionize the instrument with the style they brought, and then to hear Jimmy page hammer on and bend the 13th fret for 3 minutes makes me nauseous that people mention them all in the same sentence.
