This song is the first song in a long time that made me accidentally drive 20+ mph over the speed limit, without noticing.

    I don't hear Zeppelin, and quite frankly I'm offended they're being lumped in with a band as one-dimensional as the Black Keys.

    For a band that started out pure two-piece blues rock and has expanded into everything from stadium sized anthems to hip hop, not sure one dimensional fits the bill. How 'bout "I personally don't like them."

    I certainly hear the Zeppelin influence in there - particularly in the drumming. Awesome track. It's silly to be offended by a comparison to Led Zeppelin. I love their work as much as anyone else, but I would be the first to admit Led Zeppelin is essentially rock n' roll's gateway drug - at 14 you discover them, become obsessed, it leads you to a ton of classic rock and other such acts which leads to a lifetime full of enjoyment. However, after enough time, you start to get over them because there's only so much of their music, and their live act did not translate well to recordings. There's just something about them to me as well that makes me feel like I've already gotten what I am going to get out of Led Zeppelin - whereas with a band like the Who, I feel myself connecting to the same music in an entirely different way every couple of years.

    Or short and sweet, the Black Keys rock, and Led Zeppelin were not the untouchable reach for the stars amazingness that many people make them out to be.

    Love this song. I definitely hear Mary Jane's Last Dance in there.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    John Paul Jones? Paige?! Robert Plant, is that you?! ;)
    Why are you offended?

    Well, personally, I dont think Black Keys have nearly the talent that LZ had, but I can see the drumming similarities. Either way, a good point is that the song little black submarines made me drive fast...and so does LZ sometimes! :D

    Big fan of this song as well. As is the case with many of The Black Keys songs, it's waasaaay better live. I was surprised that even without it being a single (yet), it was the loudest singalong of the night.
