Led Zeppelin were an English rock band that formed in September 1968. Led Zeppelin consisted of Jimmy Page,
Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. 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, jazz, 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 109.5 million sales in
the United States, and they are the only band to have had all their 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 dubbed Led Zeppelin "the heaviest band of all time" and "the biggest band of the 70s".
On December 10, 2007 the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited for the
Ahmet Ertegün tribute show at The O2 in London.
