    The original has to much of Robert Plant's vocal wankery. Cornell sang and played it straight up. I actually think that a lot of Zep tunes were done better by other artists, for example Hearts cover of the Battle for Evermore.

    'vocal wankery', what a lot of crapola. Plant has the greatest voice ever in rock, and anyway that song is surely more about the beautiful words and melodies, and as for the Heart cover, sure it was decent, but doesn't show on the radar for me. Also we really have to consider the expertsise shown in the writing and execution of these songs, a lot of which was carried out with incredibly basic equipment, and under a much less open minded music scene than these modern day covers have.
    :p

    Oh man, how could I forget that? And also Personal Jesus, Rusty Cage and In My Life.....that last one is just spine tingling. Also, he did an excellent version of If You Could Read My Mind, on his last record. JC makes me weep.

    I love the original of that, I hate it when they play it on the radio and they cut it before the guitar solo at the end.
