According to UPROXX Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones owe a lot of their success to The Windy City.

The Chicago Blues played a major roll in the birth of the music we all love and play loudly. The Chicago Blues scene developed such legendary names as Howlin' Wolf, and Mighty Joe Young.  These blues legends interacted with soon to be "rock-acts" and the landscape for a new style of upbeat, electric, big sounds was created.

Jagger, Page both loved the Chicago Blues sound and obviously used this influence to create rock and roll history.
