Cioffi - Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin initially started out as the New Yardbirds after the band the Yardbirds slowly fell apart in the 1968. Jimmy Page the lead Guitarist of Led Zeppelin founded the group after the disperse of the Yardbirds. His original thoughts for some members of the band did not go as planned but he ended up getting Robert Plant as the Singer, John Paul Jones on bass and keyboard, and John Bonham on drums. Page figured since this was a completely different group then the Yardbirds he was preciously in that the band name would be changed before the first album. The English band was formed in London in 1968, they set out on tour in the same year. As they started producing there music and making albums they made a very influential song on there fourth album called "Stairway to Heaven". This is if not there most popular song it is one of the best composed by them.
One of my personal favorite songs by Led Zeppelin is "Black Dog". My brothers and I use to listen to their music all the time as kids. I thought one of the coolest things about Led Zeppelin is after John Bonham died, his son took over on drums for him in the later years during the reunion playlists. I think it is amazing everything this band has done and has continued to do to inspire people. Below I posted my two favorite Led Zeppelin songs.

  1. Owen, "Black Dog" is also my favorite song by Led Zeppelin, and I think it is interesting that John's son played the drums for Led Zepplin when he passed away.
