The bands they stole from wouldve been 1 hit wonders at best, on a lucky day
survival of the fittest IMO. but those bands should def sue and get the $$$$ they can

I only really take issue with Led Zeppelin's blues raiding in the context of calling The Who inferior. The Who were not inferior, and if anything, they were superior because they were so original, doing far fewer covers and cribbed songs than the Rolling Stones or The Beatles, much less Led Zeppelin.
Nobody really sounded like The Who until bands started imitating them.
