Led Zeppelin is an English heavy metal rock band took that was formed in September 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page and has been regarded as one of the first heavy metal bands. Led Zeppelin's music is a mix of blues, funk, jazz, type genres with a heavy metal rock twist. Zeppelin wanted to make blues music in a whole new way, and they succeeded. Zepplin has sold more than 300 million albums nationwide; in addition, they are the only band that has had every album hit the U.S. Billboard Top 10.
After the band's drummer John Bonham's death in 1980, Led Zeppelin decided as a group that they would not continue without Bonham. Zeppelin continued to release a few albums with never before heard pieces and did a concert in May of 1988 with Bonham's son on the drums. In January of 1995, Led Zeppelin was inducted into the U.S Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Led Zeppelin was also inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame where rock bank Wolfmother played a tribute song to Led Zeppelin.
Before the 1990's, Led Zeppelin had always been very conservative when it came to their musical works being licensed for movies and/or commercials. They must have had a change of heart because today Led Zeppelin's songs can be heard in movies such as School of Rock, Shrek the Third, and even TV show One Tree Hill. The surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited in December of 2007 for a benefit concert in London, with John Bonham's son Jason Bonham filling in on the drums.
