Train announced lately that they are going to cover 'Led Zeppelin 2'. The whole album. Yeah you read that right. 

"It’s no surprise that Led Zeppelin is one of our favorite bands. I’ve been singing Zeppelin songs in every band I’ve been in since I was a young kid, Train included. It only made sense to record a Zeppelin album for all of you, but it was obviously a difficult decision to pick which one. We followed our hearts and chose Led Zeppelin II. When we perform Zeppelin songs it brings people a different perspective of our band and brings us closer to people because their work is a common love for so many. Those of you on Sail Across the Sun got to see it live, and we can’t wait to share it with more of you!" Train said in a statement made on their tumblr page.

This is a pretty bold move by the 'Drops of Jupiter' band, as I would not have guessed them to be the ones to cover a Led Zeppelin album. They probably wouldn't have made my first 100 guesses.

Train did give us a taste of what is to come, as they released a cover of 'What Is And What Should Never Be' which you can listen to right here. Trust me, the irony of the song they chose to release first isn't lost on me.
