I always found Plant as a person, his lyrics and his vocal melodies effeminate - all that chestbeating machismo struck me as thoroughly unconvincing -, so I actually think a lot of Zep stuff lends itself well to be sung by a woman. Deep Purple's Highway Star and Black Sabbath's Iron Man not so much.

Yeeesh!
That quavering vibrato on almost every line...
But nowhere near as offensive as this travesty:

At least she's totally honest and up-front about it... ;D (try and get a listen or read her "tramp" story - beautiful and funny) ... She never did have children...

Scott... you haven't persuaded 'Smoke to cover a Slade song...? :o :o :o
