Led Zeppelin is so iconic that they managed to win a Grammy for Best Rock Album in 2014 despite breaking up in 1980. The band are widely credited as being the purveyors of stadium psychedelic rock and achieved eight consecutive number one albums in the UK. Rolling Stone even hailed them as the “heaviest band of all time.”
Everything Zeppelin touched during the ’70s turned into gold. In 1970, “Stairway to Heaven” was the most requested and most played song on American rock radio despite never having been released as a single. Today, that song is so notorious that you probably hear it every time you step into a Guitar Center, where some guy noodling around on guitar will almost always be ringing those iconic arpeggios.
