Led Zeppelin was an English rock band which played from 1968 to 1980. They are considered one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. During the band's tenure and in the years since they disbanded, many artists have recorded and released cover versions of their songs. These include complete tribute albums, live versions, as well as versions on studio albums. Led Zeppelin has also garnered tribute acts, such as Dread Zeppelin, who performs their songs in a reggae style as sung by an obese Elvis impersonator, and the all-female Zepparella.
