That's what they say.
But then again, Johnny Ramone claimed (I believe it was Communication Breakdown) was one of the songs that inspired him to pick up a guitar.

Really, if you take the time to really break it down, there's very little difference between Led Zep and some of that early punk rock. Lotsa shock value, lotsa myth, lotsa toying around with occult-ish imagery, lot's of drugs, lots of angry parents, lots of sex, even some death...Just so happens Led Zep could play a bit better than most of those bands. So what?
Led Zep sure as fuck weren't a bunch of hippies, and they damned sure weren't Toto, either....
