1. Beastie Boys – “She’s Crafty”
The classic from Licensed to Ill, produced by Rick Rubin, is entirely built upon Jimmy Page’s riff from “The Ocean.”

2. Enigma – “Return to Innocence”
The iconic Bonham drums from “When the Levee Breaks” serve as the backbone to your favorite music infomercial moment of the ’90s.

3. Sean Kingston – “Me Love”
The band’s reggae vibes from “D’yer Mak’er” get lifted from the start of Kingston’s 2007 hit song.

4. Eminem – “Kim”
Just as Dr. Dre used “When the Levee Breaks” to back up a major moment on The Chronic, he employed the same deep drums on “Kim” as he helmed production on The Marshall Mathers LP, kicking in at the 0:13 mark.

5. Bun B – “Gladiator”
The dark and fuzzy tones of “No Quarter” supply some power to the Houston rapper’s hit single from 30 seconds in and onward.

6. Björk – “Army of Me”
With a slight skip and jump, the “Levee” drums are also the driving force behind Björk’s breakout single from 1995.

7. Ice-T – “Our Most Requested Record”
The West Coast and elsewhere went crazy when Ice-T made “Heartbreaker” all his own back in 1987.

8. Sophie B. Hawkins – “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover”
John Bonham’s heavy breakbeat from “When the Levee Breaks” kicks into the bridge at 0:59.

9. Jurassic 5 – “Lesson 6: The Lecture”
Bonham’s brilliantly syncopated breakbeat from “The Crunge” takes over this iconic group’s instrumental at the 2:18 mark.

10. Seal – “Crazy”
The heavily percussive bridge of this ’90s cornerstone is also interwoven with John Bonham’s beats from “The Crunge” at the 2:44 mark.

11. Beastie Boys – “What Comes Around”
Zeppelin stayed part of the Beastie Boys’ formula when they began to work with The Dust Brothers instead of Rick Rubin, who used the intro drums of “Moby Dick” as all the featured breakbeats on “What Comes Around” from Paul’s Boutique.

Love how the Beasties are listed twice, yet they are the first to sue if anyone even thinks of using "their" music :lol:

Also known as, "artists" sampling and changing aomething.enough so Zep doesn't get credit from the lay person. Sampling is fucking retarded.

Kid Rock uses the whole lotta love riff live ALOT!!! I don't know if its on any of his albums, but the last time I saw him in concert (like 4 or 5 years ago) I know the band was playing WLL, while Kid was singing something else.

Not that blues players from that era ever did that...

It was said in jest, i don't fault Zep for that in anyway, as long as what you do with it comes out sounding good who gives a fuck? I mean, if I was held to a debate regarding it I might bring it up as a negative point on some level but in and of itself, fuck man, which band hasn't stolen riffs and licks and stylistic quirks etc. As you sort of said, the blues comes from a tradition of like a bunch of people copying a bunch of people and taking the tradition onwards.

I think Zeppelin copping some of that stuff gave it much more exposure and success than it would have ever received otherwise. Some of those guys made more from Zeppelin royalties than they ever did on their own stuff...and yes, sometimes they had to go to court to get it.

Besides Zeppelin took the things they "borrowed" to places it would never of gone without them. Both musically and figurtivly. Whether it was playing blues riffs all over the world or like what they did with stairway and dazed. Both of those songs and artists should be greatful that Jimmy Page did his magic on them, otherwise neither song would of even been heard. Which those are the two that Page did "borrow" musically, but the other ones are things that Robert "borrowed" lyrically. Because musically they are completly different. Like Travelin' Riverside Blues, it sounds NOTHING like Robert Johnson's version, except for the lyrics.

Blues songs in general sound a bit same-ish. It's not a very versatile genre from what I've heard.
