God, Jimmy was SOOO overrated during his session days. Jeff Beck and certainly Eric Clapton were better guitarists than he was yet people spoke of Jimmy as this sorcerer on the guitar. Why? Bc he used a violin bow while playing? Clapton was probably the best guitarist of that decade, hands down.
You are probably right, but so what? Clapton went on to Cream and Beck had an incredibly talented band. Cream dissolved in 1968 and JBG had been showing cracks and called it quits in 1969. That left Peter Grant with Zeppelin which he ably guided to more than fill the gap created by the demise of those 2 bands, and the rest as they say is history.
That LZ is one of the greatest rock and roll bands in history is without question or worthy of debate. The key word there is band and as usual with great bands the whole was greater than the parts.

Why was Jimmy so highly talked about in comparison to those guys? The only records from that era that Jimmy played on that stood out were those for Joe Cocker and Donovan, the others you could barely hear his playing it's such bullshite.

By the way, Zeppelin was already popular at the time Jeff Beck Group achieved prominence so it's not like Zeppelin filled any gap but that Jeff Beck broke the group up deliberately before Woodstock so that rivalry was stifled before it could've materialized to a Beatles-Rolling Stones deal.

Too bad Robert Plant was clearly incompetent at writing original lyrics whereas Steve Marriott was obviously a better singer and musician and could've added a better dimension to the group than that frick Plant.
