Well, as The Small Faces were the main influence on Led Zep ('Whole Lotta Love' is 'You Need Loving') I'll have to pop for Stevie Marriott and the boys.

As Marriott once said when talking about 'Whole Lotta Love': "For years I would hear it come on the radio while driving in US, and I would think 'Go on, my son,' until one day I thought, 'f***ing hell, that's us, that is. The bastards!' "

 

[Cian]

New Order.

 

[Alby]

Stranglers

 

[Fran Hagarty]

The Beatles
