Problem is Zep explored so many different styles and genres and made them uniquely thier own that it's easy even today to say that some "new" sound is ripping them off.
Everyone sounds like them because they did everything. Blues, eastern influenced, celtic, folk, country etc...
About the only thing that I can think that they didn't do is punk, although Communication Breakdown might fit into that category.
I don't have to much of an issue with Whitesnake. Dig into the older stuff. The lineup has included such notables as,
Ian Paice and Jon Lord-Deep Purple
John Sykes-Thin Lizzy
Aynsley Dubar-Journey
Vivian Campbell-Dio and now Def Leppard
Rudy Sarzo-Quiet Riot and someone else, maybe Ozzy
Adrian Vandenberg
Steve Vai
Tommy Aldridge
I think the one song that tagged them as Zep clones was Cryin in the Rain, very Plantish vocals plus David kinda looked like Plant at the time.
