"Similar", hmm . . .
Yardbirds for the early, middle 60s Stones
Jeff Beck Group for Zeppelin. I think they both covered the same song on their first album, either You Shook Me or I Can't Quit You Baby.
CCR also "turned blues riffs" into rock in a way that sounded somewhat authentic.

Thin Lizzy was a solid 70s blooze band, if you are interested in this type of music. Check out Night Life, Jailbreak, Johnny the Fox, and Remembering. There is also a good greatest hits package - Dedication. |

I thought they were more of a hard rock band. Gary Moore plays blooze but he also plays metal. |

I don't know but the Question was "they turned blue riffs and music into rock" and many of you are mentioning blues bands, anyway those blues bands made great rocks too
BANDS WITH MORE BLUES LESS ROCK
Savoy Brown
J. Geils Band (the first two albums, specially the very first one, one of the best rock-blues albums)
Fleetwood Mac (The original with Peter Green)
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (listen those with Li'l Mick Taylor)
Johnny Winter
Canned Heat
Rory Gallagher / Taste
Groundhogs (I love "Blues Obituary" but it's very "special" maybe not a good recommendation to start)
Ten Years After
Keef Hartley
Ottis Spann
BANDS WITH MORE ROCK LESS BLUES
Jimi Hendrix
Humble Pie
The Jeff Beck Group
The Who
The Yardbirds
Steppenwolf
Jefferson Airplane
Mountain
Sam Apple Pie: This is the first time I heard someone mentioning them, as their life was so short and very unpopular, as the Stones they made a cover of Route 66, but a rocking version more than a bluesy as the one by the Stones)
Frank Zappa, but beware as he plays a lot of styles |

My fave Groundhogs release was" Thank Christ For The Bomb"came out in 1970..The Groundhogs also had a release with John Lee Hooker in'65, They backed him on a tour of England. They opened for the Stones on their "71 tour of England. They recently released cd's of cover tunes of Wolf and Muddy..great stuff |

I just discovered "early" Groundhogs, Voodoo! I haven't heard Blues Obituary yet!
Before about four months ago the only albums I'd heard were Who Will Save the World and Crosscut Saw, which are albums I still don't like a whole lot. Then I discovered Thank Christ for the Bomb and especially Split and they tore my head off. Such incredibly great weird blues high energy rock madness. Reminds me of being a teenager and listening to Zep and Floyd for the first time - all that crazed ritual guitar drama and ponderous lyrical wugga wugga. I have yet to hear Blues Obituary but am gonna get one at my earliest opportunity.
Their dynamics are what I absolutely love - when they take off, they really take off! To me Split is the best place to start, with its combination of blues, high energy, almost MC5-ish pound and its fantastic engineering/recording make it a perfect combination of rock and roll noise priorities and more rockist instrumental prioriti.

So far nobody has mentioned the most obvious band:
The Faces! Their long-awaited boxset (4cd chocked full of rarities and unreleased material) comes out June 8 (in US).
I personally wouldn't classify The Who as blues-rock.
And let us not forget:
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Butterfield Blues Band (East West should be in everyone's collection)
The Band
Creedence Clearwater Revival
