Each of their nine studio albums placed on the Billboard Top 10 and six reached the number-one spot. With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units, they are the second-best-selling band in the United States. They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording various sources estimate the group’s record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide. Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Jason Bonham taking his late father’s place behind the drums. In the decades that followed, the surviving members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s, and the group disbanded following Bonham’s death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Jones’ keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group’s catalogue, which featured increasing experimentation. Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin’s music, particularly early in their career, while Plant generally supplied the lyrics. Their fourth album, which features the track “Stairway to Heaven”, is among the most popular and influential works in rock music, and it helped to secure the group’s popularity. Although the group was initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin (1969), Led Zeppelin II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), their untitled fourth album (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973), and Physical Graffiti (1975). The band’s heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music.Īfter changing their name from the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.
