Ian, I'm not understanding a few things here. First of all, does the lack of
the original keyboard player negate the Moodies? The rest are still in the
band. If so, then what does that say about any band who replaces a member?
And there are so many of those...

Except that Zep should have called it quits after the death of Plant's
voice. And I could argue that a drummer is nowhere near as essential in Zep
as it was for The Who, if essential at all.
