Pioneers of rock n roll. Yes, you can talk about The Beatles.

Jimmy Page stole the opening of the intensely boring "Stairway to Heaven" from Randy California, a totally different style of "rock" than the blues licks Elvis stole. It doesn't matter what color skin Randy had nor does it matter what the color of skin was that the bluesmen had from whom Elvis stole licks, theft is theft.

There are a lot of folks that don't realize that a huge portion of LZ songs are covers of old blues songs.....I will always love the band, but a lot of the songs including a good portion of their hits they didn't write....FWIW....
