For the Zep fans out there ... I give you ... Greta Van Fleet ...
I've always said ... hey, if you're going to shamelessly ape some old band, you could do infinitely worse than copping classic Zep ... and these (very pretty, I might add) young men do it pretty damn convincingly.
I esp. love the axeman's (who is, as one can obviously deduce, the identical twin of the singer ... and the bass player is their younger brother) tone on this one ... ya gotta love them vintage SG w.tube distortion soundz ...
Enjoy ... there's also some vids of their Coachella perf from last weekend on youtube that are worth watching. Such as this one ... one of my good buddies was there, and he turned me onto these guys earlier this week ... this is just pure live Zep right here man. I really dig their guitarist.
Robert P. has personally blessed them, and even implied he's jealous of the lead singer lol ... and Sir Elton had them play some occasion recently for him & hubby. Pretty high accolades in my book

Backwards and forwards already ... might make them a tough choice.
For sure if someone who knew little about music asked me for a good option, they and the Beatles would be my first suggestions ... followed by Dylan and the Stones
They have a total of 6 great albums: Piper, Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, The Wall ... and I know every song by heart backwards and forwards on all but Piper which I've only heard maybe 10 times. The rest I've heard roughly 1M times I think ... hell I could even probably sing ya a few songs off the top of my head right now from Obscured by Clouds from start to finish like Childhoods End and Wots ... Uh The Deal? (couple of Gilmour classics) for example
You could pick any Floyd song from 1971 (Meddle) forward and I could tell you whether the vocals are Waters, Gilmour, or both and which verses they sing if they both sing on it. I could tell you such Floyd obscurities as the fact that despite Have A Cigar sounding very much like it's sung by Waters, is actually sung by one of their favorite English singers by the name of Roy Harper (also celebrated on the the last song on Led Zeppelin III, a song called "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" ... and note that it's the only Floyd song apart from Great Gig In the Sky not sung by Waters and/or Gilmour since 1971.
In fact, I could probably sit here and write down the lyrics to The Final Cut off the top of my head and get it like 75% right ... even though I've heard the whole record like 3 times in the last 20 years.
A lifetime of nothing but Floyd from here on out would be pretty depressing, much as I love them
