and perhaps my favorite Zeppelin song....you won't hear this arrangement anywhere else...the dudes had talent coming out of their butts, using a lot of styles over 10 albums
this always makes me sad

It always amazes me how people like Edison are heralded as heroes, when he stole the majority of his big 'inventions'. Then someone like Stern takes a shot at Zeppelin for doing what most major performers have done, yet Zeppelin has this incredible body of original work that goes unnoticed.
Yes, read the article, Porky. "Centuries old"... therefore, not his. Don't get me wrong, I love Leadbelly. But no one cares who recorded it first. It doesn't matter. Being first doesn't imply ownership.

I did, I was saying he recorded it first. Thats what I thought you were disputing when you said "Maybe, maybe not".
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
You're trying to say that because Leadbelly recorded a traditional song first, then Led Zeppelin recorded another arrangement some years later, then that implies they ripped Leadbelly off. I'm saying horseshit. How many people have recorded Jingle Bells on their very own Christmas album? Who recorded it first? Does it really matter? No! Absolutely not.

I do believe that the writer/creator of the piece of music is the true owner. Everything after that is just changes in tempo and instruments used.
In those cases, it does matter who recorded it first IMO.
Well, you could argue the guitar work is pretty similar
Traditional songs have been around for centuries. No one owns them. No one has the right to.

Here's an interesting place to listen to the originals of Zeppelin stuff, to chart which song came from where and it addresses Zep and plagiarism...

They were great at taking a song and making it their own - they took the blues and turned it to 11.

I wrote Jingle Balls....it was titled that originally in honor of our cold Canadian winters
