 | | One of the all-time greatest rock bands, Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 with Jimmy Page (formerly of the Yardbirds) on guitar,; Robert Plant as vocalist, John Bonham on drums,; and John Paul Jones on bass/keyboards. |
 | | Their second album, Led Zeppelin II,; (1969),; brought further success buoyed by top ten single, "Whole Lotta Love." The old-time blues and acoustic tunes on Led Zeppelin III (1970) were less popular than earlier efforts, but Zeppelin returned the following year with their most acclaimed work ever. |
 | | The double album, Physical Graffiti (1975), was Zeppelin's most diverse album, containing some of their most beautiful acoustic pieces (such as "bron-Yr-Aur"), as well some of their most driving and powerful epics (such as "Kashmir"). |
