I love Zeppelin's "cover" of this song, but disappointed when I found it's the same title, same lyrics, same guitar riff (though electric) as Blind Willie Johnson's original song recorded in 1927. Yet shamelessly, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page appropriated it, and took full credit for having written the song, while giving no mention or credit to Willie. Although very talented musicians, those two pencil neck limeys have a history of plagiarizing many American artist's creative work. As a blind receiving artist, that put's a bad taste in my mouth.

None of these bands listed took credit for writing the songs they covered like Plant and Page did.
