Led zeppelin

The band formed in 1968 changed their name to Led Zeppelin and recorded and released their first self titled album. Within two months the album reached Billboard's Top Ten. The album is essentially Zeppelin most blues-driven release. Led Zeppelin II and every release after have attained Platinum status, and in 1973 the group began to break box-office records set by the Beatles. By 1975 Led Zeppelin was the most commercially successful rock band in the world.

The Zeppelin experimented with several musical styles over the bands reign. Their sound began with Blues and thunderous Heavy Metal, softened to mystical Folk and tumbled into the realm of Funk, Psychedelic Rock, and the fusion and integration of all these styles. Perhaps this is why their music has attained the lasting value that only two other groups have been able to secure, the Beatles and Pink Floyd.
