As an average white teenager, I did not come to Zeppelin through the Delta Blues, but rather came to Delta Blues through Zeppelin. What seems like stealing or copying or mimicry in the moment can later take on significance as a path to the source material for new listeners, especially with the streaming economy we have now.
I love this line. Its important, and it really accentuates the awesomeness of music. My, lets call it, "gateway" band was the Dixie Dregs, through them I grew an appreciation of bluegrass and baroque/flamenco music that I never would have gained. They really opened up new musical worlds for me. Steely Dan did as well (jazz)....To me that is the definition of greatness...a band that makes you appreciate not just their music but where it came from....
