Just been listening to Stairway to Heaven and realised that it would be so out of this world rock n roll if Pearl Jam ever covered this !! Imagine Eddie singing

    Sweet. I don't think it would be the best choice for them to cover. Not sure how Eddie's voice would fit in with it. But, then again, it may rock really hard.

    I love The Rover. Think Stairway is great and don't let outside factors influence my opinion of it. it's the fourth song on the fourth album. and I HATE Custard Pie. one of the only Zep songs I truly dislike. which sucks because it opens my favorite Zep album.

    If they covered any Led Zep, I would like Gallows Pole... I think Ed could pull it off.

    ed couldn't pull off galow's pole, his voice isn't throaty enough.

    and stairway? nobody should cover this song, ever.

    tangerine could work

    When the Levee Breaks.

    Sounds more like PJ and the voice is do-able for Ed.

    I'd like to hear them cover What Is And What Should Never Be. I know it has been done by Black Crowes, with the man himself, Jimmy Page, but I would like to hear Ed singing, Mike wailing on that solo. Jeff would dig the funky ass bass-line, Boom could rock out a bit. Stone and Mike could rock the bridge with two guitars and I'm sure Matt would have fun pounding some drums.

    I think Dancing Days would be a good cover for them to do. That would sound great coming from mccready, plus his improv solo would be sweet too.

    anything from II or III would be fine with me!! and it might not suit Eddie vocally, but I'd like to hear the band jam on In My Time of Dying......
