Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is easily on of the best bands ever. Jimmy Page is one of the best Guitar players in the world, John Bohnam is in my opinion the second greatest drummer ever, Robert Plant has a great voice, and John Paul Jones is equally talented. They all mix together to create a fantastic sound and they have influenced more types of music than the majority of other classic bands. They practically created hard rock and metal. They have influenced progressive rock and soft rock as well. Their best song in many people's opinion is Stairway to Heaven, but I've always liked the Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love, and Fool in the Rain just as much. They are a very unique band and are definitely one of the all time greats.

No musical act in history, with the exception of maybe Elvis, was more orignal than Led Zeppelin. When Jimmy Page started the band in 1968, little did he know that the band would dominate music in the 70s and then be known as one of the top 5 bands of all time. They one of the best guitarists the world has ever seen in Jimmy Page. Robert Plant had a powerful voice that is just impossible to imitate. There was John Bonham who is arguably the best drummer of all time. Finally, John Paul Jones created exceptional basslines which are still imitated today. It is a shame that the band broke up in 1980 due to Bonham's death, because I never got to see them as I would not be born until 10 years later.

Theres a lady whos sure

All that glitters is gold

And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.



Theres a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook

Theres a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.



Theres a feeling I get

When I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who standing looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.



And its whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.



If theres a bustle in your hedgerow

Dont be alarmed now,

Its just a spring clean for the may queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

Theres still time to change the road youre on.

And it makes me wonder.



Your head is humming and it wont go

In case you dont know,

The pipers calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.



And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How evrything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.



And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

This is my favourite band. They have so many good songs, everything is a hit! The lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, is arguably the best rock guitarist ever! That is only my opinion, but I recently bought the DVD, and he is amazing on it. Robert Plant, is also a very good singer known for his scat phrases. John Bonham is on percussion, and he is fantastic, especially his drum solo for Moby Dick. John Paul Jones is the best overall musician in the band as he plays multiple instauments. Led Zeppelin ended too early, as they ended, because John Bonham died, in 1980. The band was fantastic, and they also have the best rock hit ever, Stairway to Heaven. Stairway to heaven is my all time favourite song, and if you listen to it you proabably would agree. Led Zeppelin lasted for a little more then twelve years, and released nine albums (not including greatest hits or box sets). These are: Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin 2, Led Zeppelin 3, Led Zeppelin 4 (untitled), Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffity, Precence, Going Trough the Out Door, and Coda. People continue to listen to them to this day. I suggest getting their new greatest hits albums: Early Days, and Latter Days.
