Who is Led Zeppelin?
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in 1968 by Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock music.Susan Fast, "Led Zeppelin (British Rock Group)", Encyclopædia BritannicaTim Grierson, "What Is Rock Music? A Brief History of Rock Music", About.com However, the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre.Brackett, John (2008). "Examining rhythmic and metric practices in Led Zeppelin's musical style." Popular Music, Volume 27/1, pp. 53?76. Cambridge University Press. Led Zeppelin did not release the popular songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock".
Close to 30 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States and they have had all of their original studio albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard album chart in the U.S., with six reaching the number one spot.Allmusic.com - Led Zeppelin Billboard Albums Led Zeppelin are ranked #1 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.100 greatest artists of hard rock at vh1.com Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the '70s" and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history.""Led Zeppelin: The Legend, the Classic Reviews, a Selection of Hot Photos and More", Rolling Stone 28 July 2006. Similarly, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes Led Zeppelin being "as influential in that decade (70s) as the Beatles were in the prior one."Led Zeppelin, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Biography
In 2007, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited (along with deceased drummer John Bonham's son, Jason) for the Ahmet Ertegün Tribute Concert at The O2 Arena in London.

- Robert Plants' vocals does it for me. Many of the Zeppelin songs are a bit on the odd side for my taste, but to hear Plant sing, I'll listen to them anyhow. He makes them all "good."
