I didn't feel like rooting around for my old band suggestion threads, so I'm just making a new one, and I don't do this often enough for a special thread.
Firebird (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=74349999)
(Live - you can find quite a few of theit other songs live via the links) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oFIooJX1Gw)
For quite some time, I had the same problem with these guys as I've always had with Led Zeppelin: listening to their music, I kept thinking I should love it, but I could never quite dig it.
Then one night, whilst dancing with the Green Lady, something clicked and ever since I've been addicted. They draw on Zeppelin-era metal-rock heavily, but they also show some 60's influences as well, especially on #3; just take a look at their list of influences and you'll see Grand Funk, Cream, and Canned Heat, to name a few. Anyhow, the result is heavy-duty blues-based 70's British rock at its finest.
Also, watch the youtube links; several of them lead to an unrelated Rockabilly band also called Firebird. They sound good too, but they are definitely not the same group.
