I always wondered if people like the guys in Led Zeppelin realized, as they were writing some of their most epic and timeless songs, that they were creating something as truly significant as they were. Perhaps when you're creating something as an individual, it's hard to know that you're doing something great as it happens. But I'm curious if it's the same when you're 4 people in a room and that "magic" happens that can only be experienced when you've found that fit with other creatives that results in something truly original and innovative. I feel like, on some level, in cases like that, they had to know.

It's a constant process of self and peer evaluation and grading, although often implicit. Page didn't always rock. No doubt he had to figure it out like everyone else, but when he did he was clearly a Great song writer and riff maker. And that's Great with a capital G.
