34. I love Zepplin
But Plant and co. never once gave credit (or money) to the Blues pioneers who wrote some of their early songs. So for that reason and that reason alone, he is an asshole. I know an artist who no longer performs, "When the Levee Breaks" simply because she is tired of paying royalties to Plant and co. every time she performs the song, even though Memphis Minnie wrote it.
