One of the all-time greatest rock bands, Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 with Jimmy Page (formerly of the Yardbirds) on guitar, Robert Plant as vocalist, John Bonham on drums, and John Paul Jones on bass/keyboards. They found success with their self-titled first album in 1969, a mixture of heavy blues-driven rock songs that carried a frightening manic edge never before heard in popular music at the time.
Their second album, Led Zeppelin II, (1969), brought further success, championed by the top ten single, “Whole Lotta Love.” The old-time blues and acoustic tunes on Led Zeppelin III (1970) were less popular than earlier efforts, but Zeppelin returned the following year with their most acclaimed work ever.
Led Zeppelin IV (a.k.a. Zoso, 1971) contained the fiery “Black Dog” and the nostalgic, dreamy epic, “Stairway to Heaven,” which remains among the most loved and respected songs of all time!
