From: London, England

Active: 1969–1980

I first heard of them: when my friend Mike stopped wearing cartoon cat T‑shirts to school and started wearing Led Zeppelin T‑shirts

Sound: blues- and folk-inflected hard rock

Further listening: I’m not a Led Zeppelin fan—​the only songs of theirs I’ve heard are the ones that played incessantly on classic rock radio back when I listened to classic rock radio—​but I do like a handful of those.  Here are a couple:

		“When the Levee Breaks” (1971)
		“Kashmir” (1975)
