Led Zeppelin
Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while Plant generally supplied the lyrics. Jones' keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group's catalogue, which featured increasing experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980. In the decades that followed, the surviving members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions. Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history.

Bonham's drumming was so loud, the only way the rest of the band could keep him from drowning them out was having the band play in one room of the studio, and Bonham play drums in another building, usually on the other side of whatever city they were in. edit The Party Years edit Death edit Lost solo album

Heart plays Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven, makes Robert Plant cry There have been some mighty horrible renditions of Led Zeppelin‘s Stairway To Heaven, but when Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart performed the song in front of the three remaining members of the legendary British rock band at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Dec. 2, it made Robert Plant cry tears of joy. (The band was being honoured by President Barack Obama alongside David Letterman and Dustin Hoffman.) Watch it and understand why. When the choir kicks in and Ann Wilson wails Plant’s famous “And as we wind on down the road…” you might shed a tear or two yourself. Want more Stairway?

Led Zeppelin Sued over ‘Stairway to Heaven’ Guitar Line | KQED Arts Did a band from Los Angeles get ripped off by Led Zeppelin? That’s the claim in a new lawsuit by representatives of the band Spirit, which played some dates with the British rock legends in their early days in America. The story is a familiar one: A band plays a bit of music that sounds a lot like another song; a debate ensues. But in this case, the band is Led Zeppelin, and the song is “Stairway to Heaven,” a megahit so popular it’s been ubiquitous in bars and on the radio for decades. The similarity of the meditative guitar-picking in both 1971’s “Stairway to Heaven” and 1968’s “Taurus,” an instrumental track on Spirit’s self-titled album, has been discussed by music fans for years. You can listen to the Spirit song and see for yourself what you think. As Bloomberg Businessweek reports, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of the trust of Spirit guitarist Randy California, who died in 1997. The attorney also acknowledges there’s a great deal of money at stake. Copyright 2014 NPR.

The Story Behind Led Zeppelin’s ‘Swan Song’ Revealed Led Zeppelin boasts one of the most impressive — and successful — discographies of the rock era. But the songs that made it to their albums don’t necessarily tell the whole story, as evidenced by a feature in a recent issue of Classic Rock Magazine that traces the evolution of Jimmy Page‘s ‘Swan Song,’ which never appeared on a Zeppelin record — but came awfully close. The ‘Swan Song’ story starts in 1974, when Page brought elements of what was meant to become a four-part suite about the seasons to the sessions for ‘Physical Graffiti.’ At the time, it was an instrumental featuring what Page is quoted as calling “a number of sections and orchestrated overdubs,” and while the band spent time developing it in the studio — you can find pieces from the sessions on YouTube — it was ultimately cast aside.
