Right back at ya, Zep....Devo appropriated the 'Misty Mountain Top' riff for their (speeded up) 'Uncontrollable Urge".

And does that matter?

It's not hard to tell when you put "Whole Lotta Love" and "American Woman" next to each other. Or "The Immigrant Song" and the theme music to "Get Smart". *wink*

But who am I to judge. Put Socorro's "Sirocco" (I came up with the tune) and put it next to Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" or Dead Can Dance's "Desert Song" and judge for yourself. (I will admit to ripping off elements of both tunes.) I should be sued big-time. *grin*
