Led Zeppelin was an English rock band formed in London in 1968, comprising Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass/keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). Across albums including Led Zeppelin IV (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973), and Physical Graffiti (1975), they fused blues, folk, and hard rock into a sound built around songs such as ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ ‘Whole Lotta Love,’ and ‘Kashmir.’ The band disbanded in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham.

Widely credited with pioneering hard rock and heavy metal and popularizing the album-oriented, stadium-rock format, Led Zeppelin sold an estimated 200–300 million records worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
