Our Top 10 Led Zeppelin Tribute Albums presents the best Led Zeppelin tribute albums done by sole artists as well as compilations consisting of multiple artists. The top 10 list of Led Zeppelin albums are pretty much in random order except for number one which we just fell in love with the first time we heard it. There is quite a bit of variety on this Led Zeppelin Tribute Albums list.

# 10 – Live at the Greek – Jimmy Page And The Black Crowes

We open up our top 10 Led Zeppelin Tribute Albums List with an album that actually contains one-fourth of Led Zeppelin. We weren’t sure if we should include this one or not because, well, Jimmy Page plays on the entire album. Yet it’s just so good that we had to include it. There is the possibility that some fans may not be aware that Jimmy Page joined up with the Black Crowes for a tour many years ago that was a great deal of fun.

Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes played mostly Led Zeppelin covers with a few other cuts once in a while, but this was all about paying tribute to Led Zeppelin. which is still kind of weird because Jimmy Page is part of the band paying tribute. If you never heard this album, you need to hear how great the band sounds and how well Chris Robinson did in interpreting these classic Led Zeppelin songs.
