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.
