They were the first N-Sync or Color-Me-Badd and they influenced all of the other N-Syncs and Color me Badds that came after. LIke it or not, they defined much of the music that you (apparently unwillingly) hear in your life. And like it or not, that's the music that screaming, crying teen aged girls can't get enough of. They were geniuses for figuring out how to control thousands of dollar-filled screaming teenagers, and in doing so, they defined an industry.
On the other hand, Page and Plant were a couple potheads spitting out yuppie-teen-angst versions of what was someone else's very good blues.
