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

That's not what I'm saying . . . obviously AC/DC knew what Zeppelin sounded like and that they were popular. Doesn't matter if they cite them as a favorite or not.
Zep's main influence wasn't their songwriting or playing, it was their SOUND.
You could really describe AC/DC's sound as "Chuck Berry riffs played at Led Zeppelin volume" -- make sense yet? ;-)
Ted Nugent and Boston were also influenced by the Zeppelin "sound", and Grand Funk and Bad Company and DMBQ and . . . . pretty much anyone that can be called "hard rock that isn't quite metal."
