They have dumb lyrics and rip off blues musicians.

How is it ripping off? Is having anyone but the inventor of the blues playing the blues a rip-off? They were heavily blues influenced and that is the style of their music (hell they do blues covers), it's not as if they try to act otherwise.
And the lyrics to Achilles Last Stand (or stairway, or kashmir) are no different than the soaring, overdone lyrics of Dream Theater or other rock bands; and they CREATED this style of singing (20 years before DT). And the blues songs have lyrics like other blues songs.

Dream Theater own LZ into the ground. But DT's albums Images And Words and Awake against a couple of any other bands albums and they will win in nearly ever case.
