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

Not so much "cover" as they lifted whole sections of songs/lyrical passages and held it out as their own - now, mainly it was Page who did this on the musical side.

Plant and Page, when caught doing this, seemed to lean on the "homage" card - that hasn't worked in the modern era for Coldplay and Thicke/Farrell for more recent controversies, but everybody (except the critics) loved Led Zeppelin.
