Well that was something I didn't expect to see. Mind you....
Mike: Yeah, I think so…I think I learned early…I took lessons early on when I was like ten or eleven, and then I learned some technical things… but I stopped, I just kind of wanted to learn Kiss songs and Aerosmith songs back in the day and I learned from playing off of records…
I'm fairly certain that I listened to Duran Duran when I was 10 or 11. It hardly defines my musical tastes today.

...nobody said anything about Zep...i think it's a given that pretty much every rock'n'roll band of the past 30 years or so now has been influenced by the Zep (wether it be directly/indirectly)...

From this months Q magazine 'cash for questions'
I know it was all sensationalised by the media at the time, but I recall Curt Kobain saying that some of your first album was a "cock-rock crossover". Who is your favourite cock-rock band?
Jeff Ament: Free are my favorite cock-rock band. There was a real '60s posturing about them, but it was just heavy blues basically.
Matt Cameron: We had Mr Cock Rock himself come to our show at the Astoria. Mr Bob Plant. They [Led Zeppelin] are definitely numero uno.
JA: Queen.
MC: Queen are super-special. The idea of what cock rock meant to them went over my head because I was 13 when I first listened to them. I didn't understand the other side of the equation.
Stone Gossard: Van Halen, one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Mike McCready: Or Kiss.
JA: There's so many to choose from, man. Jesus!
