Between those two rests a lot of Zeppelin's rock and roll mythology.
Rolo GuitarHOST
Artists like Ben Harper are clearly influenced by the band's catalogue, while REM cited Zeppelin albums as precedents for their albums Green and New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

Rolo GuitarHOST
In the hands of other musicians, Three could have been a disastrous experiment, but in Zeppelin's hands, it allowed them to broaden their signature style.
