Okay, so add The Small Faces to the long list of ripped off by Zeppelin.

[Glamrock]

Don't get me wrong, like The Jackson 5 putting Smokey Robinson to shame on his own "Who's Living You", I think Zeppelin usually outdid the originals. But still...damn boys! It's pretty blatant.

1. Blatant rip off. And I agree, Zeppelin version a little better.

2. And truth be told...

Faces probably ripped it off too!

4. The original song was written by Willie Dixon in 1962.

Recorded by Small Faces in 1966. Both had a suit against Led Zepplin in the 80s. They settled with Willie Dixon, who is now included in the song writing credits.

6. That's the blues, man.

Still, putting your own name on it is kind of icky.
