I’ve always said John Paul Jones is my favorite member of Led Zeppelin, he was their secret weapon. Not only is he a fantastic bass player but he also plays mandolin, Mellotron, organ, piano, and even did string arrangements before he joined the band for The Rolling Stones, Donovan, and The Yardbirds (which is likely where he first met Jimmy Page).

If it was just 1 line, they may have gotten by with saying it's a "tribute", but it's almost half the song (2 minutes out of 4:20 total). They didn't credit him for "Whole Lotta Love" either. He had to take them to court for that too. They knew what they were doing, and just hoped they didn't get caught. By "they" I mean everybody.. Page, Plant, their manager, Atlantic Records.. If they were less successful, they may have gotten away with it. That's the game.

@@bossfan49 They clearly didnt think they needed to credit considering it was an open homage including the actual title. They weren't hiding anything or "hoping they wouldn't get caught". It was absolutely normal to do such things within the blues. Happened often with next to no litigation. Dixon himself wasn't above taking from others without credit. As you say, only because Zeppelin were hugely successful and there was money in going after them were they sued. The Small Faces never got sued for copying You Need Love far more. No money in going after The Small Faces. Interestingly, black American musicians stole from Jimmy Page first. Jimmy's riff in The Yardbirds 1966 song Happenings Ten Years Time Ago was stolen by Lowell Fulson and used in his song Tramp, covered later by Otis Redding. Jimmy didn't care. He didn't sue them. Zeppelins Bring It On Home is all about the song proper. The intro and outro is irrelevant really. If they weren't there it'd still be a great rock song.

I have to listen to both very consciously so that I can fully enjoy the musical details, especially the acoustic ones of LZ III. LZ I in particular must have been musically groundbreaking at the time with Dazed And Confused and How Many More Time. I love all four albums in their own way. Then for me come the four skip song or even skip side albums.

All the British blues bands sang exactly like Plant, "Bay-buh, bay-buh, bay-buh", lol, every line, 'baby". It all comes from blues and R&B, and you certainly hear it in the Beatles and other stuff, but the late 60s British blues singers all used to beat that to death to the point where it was often parodied. Plant is, by far, the best of those singers (and Zep is the best of that slew of bands, most of whom really were terrible). But all these songs where they're just riffing and singing snatches of old blues songs, all of these mostly forgotten (and inferior) bands were doing the same thing, starting in late '67. Jimi Hendrix and his band, and The Who (and Cream) were huge influences on this era, not to mention many of those Brit-blues musicians came out of apprenticeships with Alexis Corner or John Mayall's blues groups in the early-mid 60s.
