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.
