Led Zeppelin didn't just play rock music, they expanded what it could be. Formed in London in 1968, the four-piece of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham became the blueprint for hard rock and heavy metal, and arguably the most powerful live band of their era. Few groups have ever loomed so large.
Their sound drew on blues and folk but pushed them somewhere heavier and stranger. Page's monumental riffs, Plant's soaring wail, Jones's restless musicality and Bonham's thunderous, unmistakable drumming gave them an enormous dynamic range, capable of a delicate acoustic passage one minute and a crushing rock anthem the next.
Across nine studio albums they barely put a foot wrong. Led Zeppelin IV (1971) gave the world "Stairway to Heaven," "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll," while Physical Graffiti (1975) showed a band operating at the absolute peak of its powers. Their live shows, full of improvisation and extended jams, became the stuff of legend.
The band came to an end in 1980 after the death of John Bonham, but their influence has never faded.
