I think the White Stripes did a better variation on the blues than Zeppelin. They added color and texture, coming up with an unbelievable amount of combinations for a duo that favored red and black.
See, I think the supposed awesomeness of Zeppelin is self evident to rock fans. But I am not a rock guy. I've always liked music that came from either an infinitely more minimal (or more maximal) place. I'm a punk and lo-fi Bruce Banner carrying around a hip-hop and drum n' bass Hulk inside my psyche.
Zeppelin isn't part of my language. But I'm not gonna say you're wrong for liking them. So... U know.. Don't imply that I'm wrong for thinking Jpy Divison was twice the band Zeppelin was.
