Trent Reznor and Karen O recently released a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” for the soundtrack to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. We liked it so much, we went on a search for some other covers of Zeppelin classics. These bad boys revolutionized music — who wouldn’t want to imitate them? The awesome covers listed below may make you wanna “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” the night away, feel like you yourself are ascending the “Stairway to Heaven” or leave you just plain “Dazed and Confused.”

16. Stone Temple Pilots – “Dancing Days”
STP infused this track with their grunge sensibilities and left us with a cover good enough to make us forget that Scott Weiland didn’t actually pen the song.

15. Elliott Smith – “Friends”
Smith’s haunting vocals are hard to forget after listening to this cover of the second track on Led Zeppelin III.

Proof that string quartets aren’t only for classical music.

Woah, check out the pipes on Linda Perry.

Sweetheart Corinne Bailey Rae gets down to business with this cover of gritty “Since I’ve Been Loving You.”
