You have to remember that bands in the 60's, 70's, & 80's had the ability to be more original simply due to not having as much music in their genre and beyond they could end up sounding similar to.
Naturally bands now are going to sound like somome else. Rival Sons has more of a Zeppelin sound to me yet they do it way better than Whitesnake and copycats from the 80's who I actually dig as well.
