Led Zeppelin - Edition 16 for Rock Classics
Hiya Steemit Rockers - another true epic historic pioneer band today for edition 16 of my Rock Classics Series. This time some heroes of Hard Rock from the UK. They paved the way for Heavy Metal and can be viewed as most influential for the hard rock scenery together with Deep Purple.
Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham in London!
The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound has led them to be cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal. Their style drew from a wide variety of influences, including blues, psychedelia, and folk music.
They were totally creative with their album names in the beginning starting with Led Zeppelin (1969), Led Zeppelin II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), Led Zeppelin IV (1971) but then moved to be flexible marketing wise. However their fourth album still counts as one of the most influential in rock music. Their legendary "Stairway to Heaven" was part of this album.
Jimmy Page - guitar player - was responsible for writing the music while Robert Plant created most of the lyrics. The band is widely considered one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. They sold around 300 million records worldwide and being No. 2 best selling artists in the US. Since 1995 they are a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Obviously they had several re-unifications after their high times in the 70ies :-).
Currently the 50th (!)reunification is discussed - that shows how popular they still seem to be. Robert Plant is to me one of the best singers of all time. At the end one of his solo singles too "Big Log".
One of my top bands of all time. They were so inventive and creative. I've been lucky to see the 3 survivors perform, but not all together. The Page and Plant gig I went to was the nearest I will get to seeing the classic Zep. I just wish Jimmy Page would make more new music. He just doesn't seem to play much these days.

Ich glaube, ich habe es schon mal bei Pink Floyd erzählt.
Aber egal. Doppelt genäht hält besser.
Als ich meinen 1. Ferienjob gemacht habe, in den 80ern, bin ich täglich von einem Amerikaner zur Firma mitgenommen worden. Und der hat jeden Morgen im Wechsel Pink Floyd und Led Zeppelin gehört. Mit dieser Zeit werde ich diese Mucke auf Ewig verbinden...
