Hello,
I've been into Led Zep. forever, started in 1973-1974 and love them now!
There really is no band like them. Mainly because Zep was made-up of all superstars. I would just get into all there stuff thats out there. The CD box set has almost all of them. Theres the LP of The Song Remains the Same. Then the remastered Cd (which is way different.) that just came out. Most of the LPs are out there as they sold 1000,000s. There have been rooms of bootlegs which I've seen over the years. Some I heard had great sound some did not. What alot of younger people don't
realize is thet Zep was all most of us ever really played at parties threw-out the 70s and into the early 80s. There live shows were the biggest and most talked about. Now it seems silly but Art Class was filled with kids painting pictures of Jimmy's Double SG. I don't know if you could ever call them metal but they did take us from blues to hard rock threw-out there stint.

With Pandora you just go to the site and in about 5 seconds there is music playing.
P.S. There is nothing like zeppelin. If you want to hear Plant's voice get his solo albums (but they're not very zeppelin-ish.)
Wolfmother (as stated above)
Secret Machines
Queens of the Stone Age (and if you like QOTSA [if they are sufficiently Zep-like], you may like a lot of "stoner rock", although that's a little more Sabbath than Zep - bands like Sleep, Fu Manchu, High on Fire etc.)
Haha, I read Buddha's comment and went "Rose Hill Drive?! I know their drummer!" and what do you know, it's another Boulderite. Were you at their New Year's show?
On topic, I don't really think that QOTSA is comparable to Led Zep, but you should check them out regardless. And as I think that it's already been established that Led Zeppelin doesn't really have any bands that sound similar, you may want to check out some neo-blues like The Black Keys.
I would say Gov't Mule maybe.. they cover a lot of Zeppelin tunes and do a pretty good job of it imho. I guess they're similar to Zeppelin in the sense that a lot of their songs are rooted in blues, they improvise and stretch their songs out live, and it's really heavy rock music. They always sounded like a classic rock band to me..
I agree QOTSA doesn't sound much like Zeppelin but I think a lot of Zeppelin fans would like their music.. Black Keys are pretty good too.

BTW Pandora restricted to USA IP's and proxies only ATM. I'm in India and cannot join; some licensing issue.
I'm in Canada and they won't even let me join. I used to have a membership because they used to require just a valid U.S. postal code so just looked one up and gave them that. Now they go by IP address so they canceled my account on me. Now I use last.fim instead.
