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

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.
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.

What songs off of II are "covers?"
I might be ignorant to the facts, but it seems like at least most of the songs off of that album are original.

Willie got paid at least. Not everyone is so lucky.

I disagree that they were played precisely as the blues band had played them. Zeppelin turned every element of energy and vigor and swagger in those songs up to 11. The end result hardly compares to the originals at all. Oh the lyrics were the same? Who cares? Blues lyrics are always the same. Those songs have all been recycled 1,000 times. Plant didn't sing them the same way at all anyway.
