Bring It On Home (from L.Z. II)
The Lemon Song (from L.Z. II)
How Many More Times (from L.Z. I)
Dazed And Confused (from L.Z. I)
These are just off the top my head. Zeppelin's blues are electric and highly charged (which is why they might just seem like "solid rock" to your ears) Much of the "blues" influence is in the vocals and phrasing. Also you won't hear as much "12 bar" and slide guitar work in "straight rock", or "metal" rock music. If you were to start to listen to "real blues" music (Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, etc..), you would probably start really hearing it the next time you listened to Zeppelin. It's in there, it's their roots.
