I hear tons of Zep in contemporary indie stuff - freak folk stuff can be pretty easily tied back to Zep III for ex.

but yeah, the 50s are disappearing. the 20s and 30s are already gone from contemporary memories, by and large.
that being said it was only this year that I really started to dig Little Richard. haha part of which grew out of noticing that Zep quotes the drum intro to "Keep a Knockin'" on "Rock n Roll"

xp Yeah, freak folk makes sense, I guess, as far as Zep's Celtic side. And early Chicago house music producers actually used to cite Zep's wide-screen expansive and epic approach to space, noise, and rhythm as an influence pretty often, but that was in the mid/late '80s again; not sure whether dance music has retained the influence since. (Well, big beat maybe -- I could see it in, say, Prodigy. Beyond that, who knows.)
