70's Rock - Led Zeppelin ~ Robert Farrugia


Introducing Led Zeppelin to 70s Rock! Led Zeppelin  is an rock band formed in London in 1968. The band consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The group's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues rock on their early albums, has drawn them recognition as one of the progenitors of  rock

Led Zeppelin is widely considered to be one of the most successful, innovative and influential rock groups in history. They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording; various sources estimate the group's sales at more than 200 or even 300 million albums worldwide. With 111.5 million RIAA-certified units, they are the second-best-selling band in the United States. Each of their nine studio albums placed on the Billboard Top 10, and six reached the number-one spot. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the '70s" and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.



Led Zeppelin have produced many great songs, personal what like about led Zeppelin is that none of their music is electronic it is all hand played instruments, which you rarely see this century. Personally my favourite song is “In my time of dying” because of the strong focus of electric guitars. Also for more of a vocal favorite I prefer “Immigrant Song”. I am pretty sure everyone knows Led Zeppelin for one of their most influential songs of time “Stairway to Heaven”. Take a look at the videos below to see some real ROCK!
