LED ZEPPELIN
Name: Led Zeppelin
Origin: London, England
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band that formed in September 1968. Led
Zeppelin consisted of Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul
Jones (bass guitar / keyboards) and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy,
guitar-driven sound, Led Zeppelin are regarded as one of the first heavy metal
bands. Their rock-infused interpretation of the blues and folk genres also
incorporated rockabilly, reggae, soul, funk, classical, Celtic,
Indian, Arabic, pop, Latin, and country. The band 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.
Over 25 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, Led Zeppelin
continue to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial
success, and broad influence. The band have sold more than 300 million albums
worldwide, including 111.5 million sales in the United States
and they have had all their non-compilation studio albums reach the U.S.
Billboard Top 10. Led Zeppelin are ranked No. 1 on VH1's 100 Greatest
Artists of Hard Rock. Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the
heaviest band of all time" and "the biggest band of the 70s".
On December 10, 2007 the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited (along with
deceased drummer John Bonham's son Jason) for the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert
at The O2 in London.
