![]() ![]() To sound like Zeppelin, you'd have to go back to their sources.Tolkien's followers fall into the same boat. Likewise, Their imitators simplified Zeppelin's music, which is why they all began to sound like one another, but not like Zeppelin. Zeppelin was inspired by American bluesmen, jazz, funk, classical compositions, and traditional English music.They distilled what appealed to them, westernizing and popularizing it. ![]() For example, Led Zeppelin inspired scores and scores of imitators who all grew to sound very similar to one another, but by and large, not that similar to Led Zeppelin. Chekhov is another such innovator, whose followers, like Tolkien's or Petrarch's, are not fit to be placed in the same category as their inspiration.To digress for a moment, this relates to a philosophical theory on the nature of inspiration which I developed while viewing how my own works often differed from the originals which inspired them. It is often the case that a seminal work which inspires a movement will actually not be classifiable under the genre it has created. ![]()
