And stolen folk revival (Black Mountain Side), stolen other rock songs (Stairway). After I started getting more into British Isles folk and more deep cut rock, I had to grieve my belief that Zep were profound innovators. But still, they were wizard image makers, amazing musicians, and great curators.

    There's only so many chord progressions available. They've all been done. Their version of When the Levee Breaks is fucking solid, man. They made some magic. All current music is built on top of the foundation laid by all previous music, and it basically always has been.

    Fripp and Eno would like a word with you. Granted, that shit was unlistenable.

    I was about to go on a mild tirade about King Crimson, while a bit busy, still being music that followed the norms well enough, when I realized I have never listened to the project you are referring to. In fact I looked up Brian Eno, because I recognize his name, but I can't tell you that I recognized any of what he's credited with on Wiki. I guess I have a rabbit hole to fall down today.

    You most likely have heard something produced by Brian Eno.

    You have absolutely heard many things that would not exist without him.

    British Isles

    Deprecated term, pleased don't use.

    UK and Irish is fine. Even just British is fine if you collectively mean to include Irish bands based in and primarily touring the UK.

    Not sure why would take something where I'm talking about a music scene and apply it to an individual band, but sure.

    There are bands that only ever sell or perform in Ireland. That is the Irish music scene. Just like there are footballers that play in Ireland, and films made in Ireland. And there is the British music scene, which includes Irish people selling there, performing there. And a British football system, and a British film market. But you wouldn't call individuals or bands from Ireland performing there British, any more than you'd correctly call Roy Keane or Cillian Murphy British.
