Which Spirit song?
I like Spirit too
But to dismiss Zepplin for that claim is unfair
Originality is not the benchmark for underrated
Lydia Lovich was original.....;
Page had pretty good chops as a Bird......and Zepp really blew out the MS blues .....if they stole ut then did Hendrix and Clapton too?
And Spirit went in to Thunder Island......quite a fall from Sardonicus.....and Firefall....very Poco-ish
...and JoJo Gunner...i saw them....we have a poster that moniker
The Who were original cause of very odd Pete and they were not Blues based....a wee bit cause Pete felt obligated
Anyhow ....are you old.....most Zep bashers here hate boomers as much as anything
I love LZ one thru Holy
It was standard setting for the time but Wenner and his faggot pals at RS hated them
But Lester Bangs knew better
Not to take away from LA’s Spirit but to me the two are no more related than Cream and the Grateful Dead
47, grew up on Zeppelin - every song every album - after learning the depth and bredth of their plagerism I know longer hold them in high regard. Simple as that. Huge Zappa fan - have majority of catalog. Fan of Spirit, Procol Haram.
Originality is not the benchmark for underrated. No, but it is for overrated.

There are plenty other videos documenting those they ripped off. The beginning of communication breakdown is lifted from Little Richard’s Keep a Knockin’
