Plant, Page and Jones have reunited several times since then, but they rarely went by the Led Zeppelin name, except for when Jason Bonham filled in for his late father.Īll four musicians were experts in their craft, and have been major sources of inspiration for generations of rock stars that followed. But, in 1980, they called it quits when Bonham unexpectedly died at the age of 32 years old. From their 1969 eponymous debut to their eighth and final record In Through the Out Door, Robert Plant's distinct screeching vocals, Jimmy Page's innovative riffs and the thunderous rhythm of both John Paul Jones and John Bonham made them one of the most influential musical groups of all time.Īll eight of their studio albums have been certified platinum multiple times, four of which have actually reached the diamond status ( Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti). Over the course of their career, which lasted about 12 years, they became one of the most massive artists on the planet. Led Zeppelin's cocktail of the blues and heavy, distorted rock 'n' roll often gives them recognition as one of the very first true heavy metal bands along with Black Sabbath and Cream.
