Led Zeppelin
Though
Black Sabbath
was arguably a more influential band in regards to the history
of heavy metal,
no hard rock/metal discussion is complete without a mention of
Led Zeppelin.
Besides recording one of the most popular rock songs of all time
("Stairway To Heaven"),
Led Zeppelin's back catalog has served as a blueprint for
blues-based hard rock for decades.
The list of instantly recognizable hits is staggering:
"Whole Lotta Love", "Kashmir", "Communication Breakdown",
"The Immigrant Song", "Rock And Roll", and on and on.
The band abruptly broke up shortly after the unfortunate death
of John Bonham in 1980, the remaining three asserting they could
not continue without their drummer.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page both have managed successful solo careers,
and the two have played Zep tunes (with an elaborate backing band)
together in recent years.
