Dread Zeppelin
One of the world's most unique cover bands, Dread Zeppelin features a grossly overweight
Elvis Presley impersonator as a lead singer, and they play Led Zeppelin
songs (occasionally with Presley songs mixed in) with a reggae beat. Probably works better as
a live act, but I've never seen 'em in person myself.

My brother owned this CD for years, and I kept bugging him to sell it to me, until one day he
finally gave it to me for free, just to make me shut up. :) It's actually a bit of a disappointment,
because they merely cover Zep songs w/o mixing in Elvis Presley lyrics (like they did on their
debut, which unfortunately I don't have yet) -- plus they committed the grave error of actually
writing ORIGINAL songs, which all suck. Oh, and one of these songs is actually a Bob Marley
cover, but I forget which.
