ZepHead89 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Basically I'm just looking for some music recommendations here. They don't have to be similar in the fact that they are so close to Led Zepp's style that I'd think they were a Zeppelin clone or something (although I doubt there is a band out there that is like that anyways), but just some bands that are hard rock, bluesy, and that has memorable riffs. I don't own many CDs right now and am trying to build up a sweet CD collection, so any artist recommendations or album recommendations would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 4 Life Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) This is all subjective obviously. I'll give you my personal recommendations since Led Zep is my favorite band. Others in no particular order: Pink Floyd Cream Aerosmith Deep Purple Black Sabbath Jimi Hendrix ZZ Top Rush There are definitely many more. But I think this is a good place to start.

Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Some bands in the bluesy hard rock genre with good riffs and vocals. If you don't know some of these bands check youtube for vids. AC/DC Alice Cooper Blue Cheer Budgie Cactus Captain Beyond (just the first album). Canned Heat Credence Clearwater Revival Dead Man (If you like acoustic Led Zep songs) Free Humble Pie Graveyard Groundhogs Leaf Hound Pentagram Radio Moscow Rainbow Roky Erickson Uriah Heep Witchcraft Witchfinder General Edited June 10, 2010 by Rock N' Rollin' Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gospel Zone Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The only Bands that I think are similar to Led Zepp are the ones that were obviously imitating them like White Snake and Zebra. I think these are the same ones that have embarrassed Robert Plant. Sometimes the part of others that you hate the most is that part that reminds you of yourself.

lovely.rita25 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 ZZ Top (Blue Jeans Blues is their best blues rock song, in my opinion) Cream Jimi Hendrix (especially All Along the Watchtower and Purple Haze) Deep Purple Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black_Dog_90 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Cream The Jimi Hendrix Experience The Yardbirds Pink Floyd Deep Purple Blue Cheer The Who Ten Years After Grand Funk Railroad Cactus Free Mountain Rory Gallagher Jeff Beck Eric Clapton Humble Pie Captain Beyond Atomic Rooster Bloodwyn Pig The Small Faces The Allman Brothers Band Taste Chicken Shack Traffic Uriah Heep Creedence Clearwater Revival ... You've already mentioned some bands but I wanted to add a few more blues-rock based bands. Hope you'll like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 If you like a Led Zeppelin,, listen to THE PARLOR MOB, this band is pure rock 'n roll inspired 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jucrew1 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 If you like a Led Zeppelin,, listen to THE PARLOR MOB, this band is pure rock 'n roll inspired 70's. I was just about to post that.......ANYONE who calls themselves a Led Zeppelin fan, should check out The Parlor Mob. Their 1st album is called "And You Were A Crow". Great album! And hopefully they should have a new album out in 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) The Parlor Mob is a really good one. My friend showed them to me. Bullet - Can't no Good boy Down - (kind of like Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp). Also, Them Crooked Vultures. Edited July 15, 2010 by JimmyPageZoSo56 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swede Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The Parlor Mob reminds me of Blind Melon so I guess they fit here as well.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EzyEric Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I was depressed once I got through most Zeppelin content that I cant see bands or shows like them anymore. This was until I found: Gov't Mule Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbreaker Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Try listening to Diamond Head's first album Lightning to the Nations. You can tell that they are musically a lot like Zeppelin, but they've also got a little bit of proto-Thrash Metal in them as well. Judas Priest in the 1970's was also a bit similar to Zeppelin in the same way that Diamond Head was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGDAN Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi T Y'All Certainly not "Robert Plant and the Band of Joy" Countrified Crap, I've seen better Led Zeppelin Tribute bands than those bunch of Musical Cowboys. Why the fcuk didn't they play "Hot Dog"? now that i could understand, but to Countryfie songs like "Misty Mountain Hop" "Gallows Pole" "Rock and Roll" i think the whole show was awful, if i had paid good money to see this i would want a refund, unless I've got it all wrong and Robert is planning to get more Grammies by breaking in to the Country Music Scene, only This Time its the "Big Time"? Now it all makes sense to me. Regards, Danny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tripmender Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Things That Have Come Close, in chronological order: Judas Priest (up to Killing Machine) Diamond Head in the early 80s (check out Knight of the Swords, Borrowed Time and To the Devil His Due. I'd argue that these particular songs are BETTER than LZ) The Cult - various things, but especially Sonic Temple, and parts of Ceremony and Love Last but not least: MOTHER LOVE BONE. Don't let the fact that they descended into the mumbling & unbearably worthy Pearl Jam put you off. 'Apple' is the best funky, groove-rock album since Physical Graffiti. FACT!

Virginia Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'd suggest setting up a Zeppelin station on Pandora.com and seeing what you get. They'll play Zeppelin, and other artists with similar qualities. I've discovered several new (to me) artists that way. You can add in another artist, and can thumbs up or down songs you like/don't like, and bookmark songs/artists too, so with repeat listening the station gets pretty customized to your taste. Though to be honest, I have gotten much more interesting blues rock suggestions from a Raconteurs station than from the Zeppelin one. Only thing is you have to be in the US to use Pandora.

zdr Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) I would say early Fleetwood Mac (I'm just starting an obsession). Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB6zg05CxYg&feature=related What a talent wasted! Edited July 22, 2010 by zdr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
