Here's my partial list:

1. Kingdom Come - Get it On (probably the most blatant)
2. Billy Squier - Lonely Tonight
3. Zebra - Who's Behind the Door

Obviously there are many more examples so let's see how many we can compile.

There's several White Stripes songs that really, really sound like Led Zep. So uh, are we gonna sue everyone?

Are we talking about bands that ripped off the artists that Led Zeppelin ripped off?

To answer your question, I'd say Whitesnake

Jane Says by Jane's Addiction reminds me of Over the Hills and Far Away..

Zeppelin is without a doubt the most highly overrated band of all time.

What about Dread Zeppelin...an Elvis Impersonator sings reggae versions of Led Zeppelin songs and they sound great.

The Black Crows are heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin but I wouldn't call them a rip-off.

Billy Squire definitely stole Led Zeppelin.

While it is true that Led Zeppelin ripped off old blues artists for much of the content their first 2 albums, I believe it wasn't out of malice, and they sound much better. A drug-addled hippie knows nothing about copyright laws (I'm referring to Jimmy Page) Most of their next 6 albums were mostly original.

If I was stuck on a desert Island I would definitely choose Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Who. Actually, I can think of 25 musical acts I would choose over the Who.
