Wolfmother - what's the deal

OK

This isn't something I'd normally get irritated/motivated enough about to post on IIS.

But can anyone please point out the redeeming virtues of this band, beyond the fact they are Australian?

Now, before you all sound off about me being "too old" to dig 'em, I'm into plenty of other stuff like the Foo Fighters, Coldplay, REM etc etc

The thing with Wolfmother is, they just sound so obviously influenced by Led Zep and bands of their ilk. I find it embarrassing. I physically cringe when I see/hear 'em.

There's a big difference being influenced by past groups versus so obviously copying their "thang".

Am I alone on this, or does anyone else put their heads in their hands when they see these copycat, pseudo covers band-charlatans step up to accept another award?
