no one. i mean NO ONE remakes zeppelin songs any better than the original. In this, I believe they are unique.

some are passable....as this version of battle of evermore.....and the 4 non blondes doing Misty Mountain on encomium.

I've heard a few good imitations....but never an adaption that surpasses the original.

I challenge you all to change my mind about this.

Willie Dixon v. Led Zeppelin

When Shirley Dixon first heard Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," she recognized it as a song by her father, famed blues musician Willie Dixon. Although Dixon's song "You Need Love" was popularized by Muddy Waters' cover in 1962, Dixon had never received money from either Waters or Zeppelin. In 1985, he filed suit against Zeppelin, charging copyright infringement. The case was eventually settled out of court in Dixon's favor for a large, undisclosed sum. With a newfound understanding of the music industry, Dixon founded the Blues Heaven Foundation, an organization devoted to helping blues artists recover royalties.
lumberjim huffed and puffed so hard, I almost forgot that Led Zeppelin are the number one rip-off artists of all time.
