I must disagree...it's fairly obvious (by Zep II) that LZ were a Who wannabe
band. On boots you can tell from the start. Hardcore or not, Zep was
certainly borrowing heavily from The Who's groundwork.
However, Daltrey's voice is much better than Plant's, and has been since
about `74 or so. Careerwise, it may be that Daltrey is a Plant wannabe...if
he could just learn to pick his songs with more thought.
