Zeppelin wannabes

   You know, back in '87, when Nirvana formed, both Cobain and Novoselic were HUGE Led Zep wannabes. Of course, it doesn't show in later works, not even on their first album("Bleach", in'89); by the time of In Utero, they had completely shifted away from ripping Zep off. The only clear clues to the fact that they were trying to copy Led Zeppelin were the tons of covers they made of songs like Heartbraker, and Kurt's attempts to find himself an unique voice:songs like Hairspray Queen, Mexican Seafood or Beeswax, from their 1992 Incesticide.What next?
