Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin was formed by Jimmy Page in 1968 following the breakup of The Yardbirds. Twelve years later in 1980 John Bonham died accidentally, and that was end of that phase in the career for the remaining three members. All three have enjoyed good solo careers and occasionally two or three have gotten together for brief reunions.

Contrary to popular belief, Led Zeppelin were not a heavy metal band. The music, as described by Jimmy Page, is a mixture light and shade with a strong blues foundation.

Madonna's Playlist

Madonna rocketed to stardom so quickly in 1984 that it obscured most of her musical virtues.

Madonna's first single, "Everybody," became a club and dance hit at the end of 1982; her second single, 1983's "Physical Attraction," was another club hit. In June of 1983, she had her third club hit with the bubbly "Holiday," which was written by Jellybean Benitez. Madonna's self-titled debut album was released in September of 1983; "Holiday" became her first Top 40 hit the following month. "Borderline" became her first Top Ten hit in March of 1984, beginning a remarkable string of 17 consecutive Top Ten hits.

Pink Playlist

Pink was a very unique teenager, and went through phases as a skateboarder, hip-hopper and gymnast. She spent several years as part of the club scene in Philadelphia, singing guest spots and performing for talent shows. At the age of 13 she was asked by a local DJ to sing back-up for his rap group, Schools Of Thought.

A short time later she was discovered by a record executive and joined a female R&B group. When that didn't work out, she signed with LaFace Records and began her solo career. In spring 2000 she released her debut, "Can't Take Me Home". She co-wrote many songs and watched it go multi-platinum by the year's end. Her debut included the Top 10 hit "There You Go", which was certified a gold single.

Crosby Stills and Nash Playlist

Crosby, Stills & Nash have remained America’s longest-running experiment in vocal harmony and social relevance. The trio brought harmony to the forefront of popular music with their unique three-part vocal blend. A low-key supergroup, they emphasized singing and songwriting above all, and their example contributed to the evolution of the singer/songwriter movement in the Seventies.

Jethro Tull Playlist

Ian Anderson's flute may be the defining factor in Jethro Tull’s music, but it’s only one element in a band that’s been around since the late 60s.

Originally a blues-based rock band with a few dollops of British folk in their sound, they evolved into one of the most popular progressive rock bands of the 70s.
