Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/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 have been credited as significantly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock (AOR) and stadium rock.
Led Zeppelin is one of my favorites to listen to because I enjoy music with guitar-driven sounds. Plant's vocals have a wide range of use, covering a variety of genres, and it is very interesting to hear how he changes the way he uses his voice throughout the band's different songs. Their sound is hypnotic and addicting - I always feel like I'm able to fully immerse myself to their music and rock on! My dad is also a complete metalhead, so it's nice to enjoy the music he's made deep connections with.
