10 70s Rock Bands That TRIED to Be Led Zeppelin and FAILED
They had the riffs. They had the power. They had the swagger. But they weren't Led Zeppelin — and the music world never let them forget it. In the 1970s, a generation of hard rock bands tried to clone the untouchable formula of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. Some came terrifyingly close. Dust brought the sheer sonic aggression. Cactus had the muscle. Leaf Hound had a frontman who could channel Plant's most devastating wails. Captain Beyond assembled former members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly. And still — none of them broke through.Their stories are about brutal bad timing, debilitating management disputes, label indifference, and the cold truth of rock 'n' roll history: you can clone the muscle, but you can't clone the magic.
