I wouldnt say in a musical way... zep need to be respected for their crossing of genres and the people they have influenced
Black Sabbath are considered also a stepstone in Rock music and many of the modern rock bands were influenced by them, do you think they were influenced by the Zep? I think they were very much so
I really like Warren Zevon. But he is not the best. Also: Metallica, Jethro Tull, The Who, AC/DC, Foreigner, Foghat, Def Leppard, U2, Tom Petty, and Van Halen.
