Published 2023-04-05
For many serious music fans, Led Zeppelin was simply the greatest rock band ever. This is the ultimate critical review of the music, films, records, and performances chronicling their rise from obscurity to superstardom...spanning the entire output of the band. The program features rare performance footage of Zeppelin on stage, behind-the-scenes interviews, and the incisive views of a leading team of music critics, writers, and working musicians.

Led Zeppelin was an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group comprised vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. With a heavy, guitar-driven sound, they are cited as one of the progenitors of hard rock and heavy metal, although their style drew from a variety of influences, including blues and folk music. Led Zeppelin has been credited as significantly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock (AOR) and stadium rock.

Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and featured such tracks as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown". Led Zeppelin II (1969) was their first number-one album, and yielded "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love". In 1970, they released Led Zeppelin III which featured "Immigrant Song". Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history with 37 million copies sold. The album includes "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven", with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock history. Houses of the Holy (1973) yielded "The Ocean", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song". Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, featured "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir".

Led Zeppelin has influenced hard rock and heavy metal bands such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rush, Queen, Scorpions, Aerosmith, the Black Crowes, and Megadeth as well as progressive metal bands like Tool and Dream Theater. They influenced some early punk and post-punk bands, among them the Ramones, Joy Division and the Cult. They were also an important influence on the development of alternative rock, as bands adapted elements from the "Zeppelin sound" of the mid-1970s, including the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. Bands and artists from diverse genres have acknowledged the influence of Led Zeppelin, such as Madonna, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Kesha, and Katie Melua.

  • There is a reason that we are here talking about a band that only played together for 10 years 50 years ago. There is a reason why 20 million people wanted tickets to the one night reunion in 2007. It doesnt matter what is said about them good or bad. The facts speak loud and clear. BEST BAND FOR EVER AND ALWAYS!!!
  • They made absolutely the right decision not to carry on without John Bonham. He couldn't be replaced for numerous reasons. It was over and I think the attempts they have made to reunite and recreate have proved that decision in Dec 1980 was just and correct. I think they are the best band ever. Their body of work is so brilliant and timeless.
  • I was fortunate enough to see the mighty Zep, in April 1977, in Chicago, at the old Stadium.

    It seemed back in those days someone was always coming up better then who came before, we expected someone to take it to the next level after Zeppelin, but there was no next level, Zeppelin was the zenith of rock music
  • @luvbasses5487
    They were the perfect band, at the perfect time. The personification of the ultimate unit.
  • I recall hearing Whole Lotta Love as a young man and thinking it was raw, explicit, and dangerous. From that day forward Zeppelin became my favorite band, and each new album seemed like a gift.
  • @aldito7586
    "They were never seriously challenged". - I like that statement. It's true.
  • @bonzo9140
    ZEPPELIN was the best then and always will be ! Rock On !
  • @JohnEuliss
    Jimmy Page Robert Plant John Paul Jones John Bonham a stellar line up. They created some timeless music and made a lot of fans happy. I'm a life long fan. I'll always listen to them almost every day of my life.
  • @Suspiria903

  • @yeti8it396
    ALL 4 of these guys were Musical Geniuses in their own right. No one can contest that rightfully.

    Led Zep II was my true initiation to rock at 12. It changed my life regarding music and started to play guitar and till now, I'm 61, I played Zep awesome and geniuses creations. They will always be one of the top 3 band for me along with Pink Floyd and the Beatles.
  • Four ultimately talented individuals came together in a a precise moment in time. I would never try and explain it. There was never anything like them before and there has never been since. I went onto many bands looking for someone to fill the void they left. As much as I enjoyed the music scene after them I have found as probably many have no one compares! As I have loved the reunions they were all missing something and it was only recently I realized what it was, THE SPONTANEITY! I don't know if they would had went on as they were if John hadn't passed but it seemed even in 1980 they were still playing long sets. As for the reunions we know Live Aid was a mess but I still loved it. Atlantic's 40th was not great but again it was for me. I think Page and Plant's excursion back in time was wonderful but it also lacked the spontaneity of Zeppelin. The 02 show was beautiful way to put the legacy to rest. Jason got his respect and his chance to make his father proud. That said Jason is not the same player. Mostly because he dose not have John's influences. Today my main musical go to is Zeppelin. I find the radio boring and often turning it off. There are those I try and enjoy but they all seem to become stale. I think I could listen to only Zeppelin the rest of my days. The Cabala recordings were a tremendous find and it was new to me. Then there were the live video's that surfaced mainly because of the internet. Most of which I never knew exsisted before. I was always a fan of the unofficial live recordings as my introduction to Zeppelin was a vinyl double album called Blueberry Hill recorded at the Fillmore. I lost it over the years but that was my introduction to the greatest band I ever had heard and love to this day! My Bach or Mozart if you will!
