I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they're really isn't a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?

Am I the only who thinks they sound more like Rush than Zeppelin?? To me their singer sounds like a dead ringer for Geddy Lee

Oh I definitely hear a ton of Rush in them too, as well as more diverse 60s/70s influences, and even some 90s alt (Mountain of the Sun in particular). It's basically just Highway Tune and Safari Song that have gotten them branded as a Zeppelin ripoff - understandably in the case of those two songs. The singer is definitely heavily influenced by Robert Plant (although as you say his voice has more of a Geddy Lee timbre to it or something) and the guitarist by Jimmy Page for sure.
