Any Christian bands that Sound Like Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon and Led Zeppelin?

Lately, I've come to love the sounds of 70's and 80's rock and I've been wondering what Christian bands may sound like Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon and Led Zeppelin.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not really as I have wondered this myself since the 80's and never really found anyone that sounds like that. I seem to remember one song resembling Zeppelin,  maybe Philadelphia? Don't remember the song. 

Neal Morse comes pretty close to 70's prog rock as does the last release from Elefante.

Try some stuff from these bands (some of which have released a bunch of albums with a range of styles, so try a few different albums from them):

Rez (also known as Resurrection Band – maybe start with “Innocent Blood” or “Civil Rites” albums)
Daniel Band
Red Sea
Petra (specifically, these albums – This Means War, On Fire, Beyond Belief, Unseen Power)
White Heart
Idle Cure
Mastedon
Jerusalem
New Jerusalem (yes, this is a different band from the previous one)

New Jerusalem is a good call, also check out a band called Stronghold.

Resurrection Band: Awaiting Your Reply (1978), Rainbow's End (1979), Colours (1980), Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore (1981), DMZ (1982)

Daniel Band: On Rock (1982), Straight Ahead (1983), Run From the Darkness (1984)

Petra: Come and Join Us (1976), Never Say Die (1981), More Power to Ya (1982), Not of this World (1983)

This question came up on You Tube and I had some great choices.....will have to go back and re-create my research because I cannot find the original post.

Do you have any other recommendations now?

Yes, I created a playlist a while back.   I know you don't like Spotify but if anyone is interested here it is:

Christian Bands That Sound Like Led Zep / Aerosmith / Pink Floyd / Rush

Otherwise below is a quick band list based off of that.  Not all the songs from these bands fit the bill, but the ones in the playlist do and maybe some others will:

- New Jerusalem
- System Breakdown
- The Brave  ("The River" album)
- Bride
- Three Crosses
- Daniel Band
- Big Chris & D-Bare Bones Band   ("Burning Bush")
- Allies   ("Long Way From Paradise" song)
- Guardian  ("Miracle Mile" album)
- Mastedon  ("Love Inhalation")
- King James  ("Waiting For The King")
- Eden  ("Show Me")
- Whiteheart  ("More Sold Out")
- John Schlitt   ("Live It Loud")
- Resurrection Band  ("Civil Rites" album)
- Glenn Kaiser ("Carolina Moon" album)
- Stevie & The Saints  ("Prisoner Of Love")
- Darrell Mansfield  (his hard rock songs)
- ApologetiX  (Their covers of Led Zep & Aerosmith songs put to Christian lyrics)
- Sin Dizzy 
- The 77's  ("Woody" and their cover of "Nobody's Fault But Mine")
- Thieves & Liars
- John Elefante  ("Where Have The Old Days Gone")
- Crosswire

Closet thing I can of to Zep is the first two albums by the Resurrection band- awaiting your reply and Rainbows end. Personally I like those albums better than anything Zepp did.

Speed wagon- early Petra with Greg X Volz. Again, far better too IMO.

That New Jerusalem song is excellent!

Better than a lot of Led Zep stuff!

I remember a thread on here from some time ago of a band that had a definite Zeppelin feel to them.  I believe they were from the UK, had two or three albums (one of which had a picture of a ship I think?), and formed in the 1970s but released an album in the 2010s or so after some/all members came to faith...  Does that ring any bells for anyone?

Stairway?

Ariel?

No...  IIRC they had a sorta odd name like First Church Of The Ocean or something like that.  Dangit this is gonna bug me until I find out!

Found 'em!  (Thank you Metal Archives search function LOL.)  I remembered quite wrong regarding where they come from, but the band I was thinking of is Sir Lord Baltimore.

Never could get into them. A lot of people consider them to be the fathers of Heavy Metal.

Thanks for the excellent recommendations everyone!

Surprised no one mentioned Die Happy here for a Led Zeppelin recommendation. ALthough I see Red Sea mentioned (same singer as Die Happy). Might want to check out Bride "Kinetic Faith", "Snakes in the Playground", and "Scarecrow Messiah". I always got a little Zeppelin vide out of those albums. 

Guardian "Miracle Mile" has some Aerosmithy vibes.

A: NO

Except for Christian bands that do secular covers of the above 3 mentioned secular bands.

Exception #2. As already mentioned, New Jerusalem is sounds more similar to the mighty Zep than any Christian band. Sure wish they had done more.
