Led Zeppelin, Founded in 1979 by Yard Birds guitarist Jimmy Page. Jimmy Page knew Robert Plant and invited him to join because of his amazing voice. Robert Plant did many sessions with John Paul Jones (Songwriter for No Quarter, Greatest Bass player ever). John Bonham was known for his powerful drumming and odd timing. Led Zeppelin dominated the 70's with soldout arenas and the best duo songwriters Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Until the untimely death of John Bonham. According to alot of magazines and sites Led Zeppelin is the No.1 Influential band of all time, and very greatly contributed to heavy metal. Led Zeppelin produced many albums such as Houses of the holy, Led Zeppelin 1, Led Zeppelin 2, Led Zeppelin 3, Led Zeppelin 4 (ZoSo), Physical Graffiti and many more. The end to Led Zeppelins reign was in 1980 with the death of the best drummer of all time. The band members knew they could not carry on without that irreplacible drummer (Even though Rumours spread about Cozy Powell being in the band). Led Zeppelin made many films such as "The Song Remains The Same". Their best hit songs include: Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Rock and Roll, The Song Remains The Same, The Ocean, No Quarter, D'yer Mak'er (Pronounced Jah-may-kah), Whole Lotta Love, HeartBreaker, Tangerine, Over The Hills and Far Away, Dazed and Confused, Moby Dick, Ramble On, Since ive Been Loving you, When The Levee Breakes, Kashmir, The Lemon Song, Achilles Last Stand (Noted by Robert Plant to be the bands best song, with Jimmy Page's best Solo besides Stairway) and Communication Breakdown plus alot more great songs. Im 16 and They have been my favourite band for 11 years. I know so much about them more than anyone I know.

Get the Led Zeppelin mug.The greatest band to ever walk the Earth.
I once told someone (this is true) "It is said that when God created Earth He rested on the 7th day. Well, the truth to that is on the 7th day, God created Led Zeppelin, on the 8th day, He rested."
Also, i read somewhere that when Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin I, the planets aligned and the world was at peace. When they broke up in 1980, things fell apart. Now, there are wars, the economy is crashing, things are not as they used to be.
With Jimmy Page's amazing guitar work inside the studio and on stage, with Plant's amazing vocal range, with Bonzo's insane drumming, and with John Paul Jones's ability to play just about every instrument out there, They made a supergroup so super, they will be talked about for centuries to come.
May Bonzo rest in peace.
:)

Could you think of a more amazing guitar solo than those of Heartbreaker, Stairway, or Achilles Last Stand?
Plus, you gotta love Jimmy's acoustic work.
Led Zeppelin will always be known as #1.

Get the Led Zeppelin mug.Related Words
A band that was around from 1968-1980 that was to be one of the most influental bands of all time. Comprised of a vocalist that had a variety of pitches (from masculine in In The Evening to high pitched in The Crunge), one of the greatest guitar players of all time, one of the most underrated and talented bassists (he played several other instruments as well), and one of the best drummers of all time (who as a matter of fact was fired from playing in a club and was told he'll never get anywhere, HAH) and combined different sounds into their music. Popular songs include Stairway to Heaven and D'yer Maker. Unique for never releasing any singles.

Get the led zeppelin mug.One of the greatest rock bands of all time. They are actually not that overrated, since most of the music fans today listen to the bullshit preppy preteen boy bands, while led zeppelin has music that can appeal to everyone. They didn't make every single song in the world about a failing relationship, they weren't cliche, and they had talent.
I have been called off as a hater for not liking 1D, 5SOS, and R5. But I honestly hate fangirling. I find it to be a worse internet gimmick than trolling.

Get the Led Zeppelin mug.A British band formed in 1968 with an amazing amount of talent and the most insane fanbase imaginable. Granted, each member was great at what he did and that they will remain one the greatest rock bands ever. But despite that, not all their songs are that grand and many of their albums are full of average to above-average songs and a few really good ones.
It's their fanbase which really ticks people off and is making me almost reject their music itself. Talk about any band and some LZ fan will butt in and say "Led Zep is best!". They religiously treat them as 'gods' of rock and the slightest criticism results in a crazy hissy fit. It's like criticising it really is against the law. You're aloud to criticise any band in the world whether it be the Beatles or Pink Floyd but not Led Zep.

Guy 1: So who do you think are better? The Beatles or the Rolling stones?
Guy 2: Well I think it's...
Random LZ fan: Omg! Both suck! Led Zeppelin is best!
Guy 1: I't's not that great.
Random LZ fan: No way! How can you say that? Led Zeppelin are gods! They're the greatest rock band ever!!!
Guy 2: Yeah, whatever.
