McCartney has always said he liked sabbath where as robert plant who has an ego the size of a fridge reckons sabbath copied all their riffs from zep , which was nonsense and the first two zep albums owed their sound to the delta blues
I dont think anybody can touch the beatles for their influences on modern music though , once they got over the she loves you yeah yeah sound they hit their stride and albums like rubber soul , revolver , the white album and sgt peppers are timeless
