A Limited History of Led Zeppelin Clones [View all]

Thought I would try something different.

Since Led Zeppelin disbanded in the early 80's due to the death of John Bonham, there have been several bands labeled as either "the next Led Zeppelin" or "a Led Zeppelin clone". I present a sample from each decade.

1980's (They were trying hard, and it's really not a bad impression)

1990's (the song technically came out in 1989, but was in the charts for 22 weeks, most of that in 1990. Plus it's Bonham's kid's band. And I don't agree that the Black Crowes are Zeppelin clones.)

2000's (The spiritual successors, IMHO)

?si=LFXkm1IBrPtAdUQf

2010's (They have tried to run away from the label, but it is no mistaking from their first album who they were emulating, and quite well I might add)

Not really sure on this decade's candidate but heard Rival Sons are to be considered.

Please feel free to add your take on this, and your selections!
