The musical core and legacy of Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin were formed in London in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page, vocalist Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham, blending hard rock, blues, folk and psychedelic influences into a distinctive heavy sound.
Across nine studio albums, from the debut Led Zeppelin (1969) to Physical Graffiti (1975) and Coda (1982), the band pioneered album-oriented rock and became one of the foundations of hard rock and traditional heavy metal.
