Agreed!

I should also add, that for better or worse - ( I think better) Zep's influence extends beyond the music and falls into the realms of creating a template for other rock bands. What I mean by that is that, for me at least, they created an archetype for bands to aspire to, although I don't think they've been bettered in this way.

You have the preening, leonine singer. The quasi Mystical guitar hero and genius. The taciturn but hugely important bassist/keyboardist. Then the powerhouse rock-beast engine room of a drummer. That being said I think all the members often moved in areas outside of these archetypes but when the Zep archetype template was fully locked in, they were the best of a kind.
