Re: Is Zeppelin Really That Good? Maybe Sabbath...

Funnily enough I was having a similar conversation with a Zep-head mate of mine the other night. I quite like Zep, but I'm not a massive fan - I have their first four albums and that's it. But I conceded to him that Zep's chief influence lies in the funkier end of rock, eg. Chillis, Rage, etc. I'm not dropping a particularly long list of examples here, I know, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Sabbath, however, have had an almighty influence on the world of metal, and one that I think no other band can rival. I think bands like the Fudge and Blue Cheer certainly must've influence them, and indeed probably Zep. But the Sabs boiled it down to the base elements that the darker end of the metal, post-rock, art-rock etc spectrum snaffled up.
