Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin was a hard rock band from the sixties to seventies and is considered one of the greatest bands of all time, with numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. They are also considered one of the original metal bands. Their Stairway to Heaven is considered one of the best songs of all time and was heavily requested for radio play despite not being a single. Their name was the inspiration for the name of the metal band Def Leppard. They have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their member Jimmy Page has collaborated with Southern rock revival band The Black Crowes and space rock band Pink Floyd member Robert Plant and was a member of garage rock band The Yardbirds. They were also a part of the British invasion. Their song Ramble On is noted for its references to the epic novel trilogy Lord of the Rings. Their song Trampled Under Foot was inspired by delta blues musician Robert Johnson's Terraplane Blues, in which he compares his lover to a car. Their Rock and Roll uses the drum riff from Little Richard's Keep-A-Knockin'. The song D'yer Mak'er has its title pronounced "Jamaica", after the British pronunciation of "Did you make her?". It also plays on the reggae influence of the song. Neo-progressive rock band Marillion has claimed influence from Led Zeppelin.
