Led Zeppelin's legacy is both revered and mired in controversy over plagiarism. Critics accuse them of lifting riffs and lyrics—but others argue their reimaginings often surpass the originals.
The band faced legal battles for songs like "Whole Lotta Love" and "Dazed and Confused," while famously defending "Stairway to Heaven."
The debate: Is Zeppelin's genius overshadowed by borrowed brilliance? Some say their transformative power, especially in blues and rock, trumps mere replication.
Ultimately, Zeppelin's magic may lie in how effectively they touched hearts, regardless of origins—a testament to enduring musical impact and contentious conversations.
