re: Cliche? Maybe, but Led Zeppelin IV is a fantastic album...

Not as egregiously and without giving due credit as Zeppelin did.
How is it egregious when they played those songs COMPLETELY different than the originals? If they were just doing covers - playing the same song the same way - that would be egregious. But they were taking old songs and transporting them to freaking Mars. You have to sit someone down with the original and tell them it was the original and listen hard to hear it. Zep's versions were really not even the same thing anymore.

So they covered songs and they sounded different. Ok? Still they never gave attribution. It's called having respect for those that came before you. See: Clapton

All due to Jimmy Page's amazing guitar technique and production values, his production was a vital reason for Bonham's acclaim as a drummer. As a unit, they truly beefed up those original songs and made them their own. Hence why those blues songs are forever attributed to Zeppelin, but provides a good history lesson as to the founders of our popular music.

Ummmm.... they did do that. Led Zeppelin I is practically all covers played almost precisely how the blues bands played them. OK, on Led Zep II they at least changed the lyrics of You Need Love to Whole Lotta Love, but it's the same damn song. Their rip off of Willie dixon wasn't even close to subtle.
By Zep III, they had pretty much dropped the cover songs, but those first two albums aren't even close. Those are covers.
