Eight studio albums. More than 300 million album sales. A song so popular its banned from every guitar shop across the land. Led Zeppelin are a band immortalised as rock gods but it’s now been 39 years since the band broke up following the tragic death of legendary drummer John Bonham.
With contemporary artists like Billie Eilish not even knowing who Van Halen is perhaps it is the best time to have a look at the Iconic bands key moments.
Led Zeppelin are one of the most iconic bands of all time but some will struggle to name more than the probably their three most popular songs; Immigrant song, Stairway to Heaven and a Whole lotta love.
Billie Eilish doesnโt know who Van Halen is ๐ฏ but with it being nearly 40 years since Led Zeppelin broke up could you even name more than 3 of their songs? #LedZeppelin

Spotify’s ‘This is Led Zeppelin’ playlist is a good jumping of point for delving into the discography of probably the early 70s defining rock band before you go out exploring beyond the surface level tracks.

Led Zeppelin is a band that defined and era, trend setting for the rock music to come for decades but ultimately fell short to the rock lifestyle that killed the greatest drummer of all time. A cocktail of sex, drugs, rock and roll, tragedy, heartache, success and failure; a strong recipe for a potential biopic one could say. Thirty-nine years on, the break up of Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest tragedies to ever hit the music world.
