I dont really get this 'underated' banner
They were always in the charts in the 60's, sold zillions of records, loads of muso's say they were a bit influence
In what way could they be 'rated' higher ?

I've always thought that "You really got me" was the inspiration behind "Whole lotta love".

I know what you mean but You'd be wrong on that mate....lets give those black blues guys their due.

"Whole Lotta Love" is a song by English hard rock band Led Zeppelin. ... Parts of the song were adapted from Willie Dixon's "You Need Love", recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962; originally uncredited to Dixon, a lawsuit in 1985 was settled with a payment to Dixon and credit on subsequent releases.

Daltery and Townsend admitted they just copied the other kinks song 'All day and all of tge the night' as best they could as they counted the Kinks as a big influence at the start

THE biggest rip off of ADAAOTN was The Doors, Hello I Love, the chorus is copied note for note.

Not underrated within and without the industry.

Legions of fans and sales and played on radio as often as all the mainstays.
