Neil Young influenced or inspired by Led Zeppelin?

At least, no more than he was influenced by any other of his contemporaries.
Neil's first fame came as part of the Buffalo Springfield in 1966, even
before Page had joined the Yardbirds!  Young went solo in 1968, roughly
around the time of the Yardbird's breakup.

Considering the large variety of material Neil has recorded, it would almost
be impossible for him NOT to have stuff that sounds similar to Zeppelin.
Inspired by?    I don't think so.
