The artists behind the Led Zeppelin albums, when taken collectively are widely known as the best in the genre of hard rock. Although other acts might dispute this opinion, enduring institutions in the music industry support the pedestal on which the band's music has been placed. The Rolling Stone magazine, VH1, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Classic Rock all agree that this group has achieved enough for its music to deserve to be called the best.
The group first saw the light of day in little flourish. Before Jimmy Page founded the group, he played with the Yardbirds which was believed to have some impact on the more legendary group. After members of the Yardbirds went separate ways, Page started playing with John Bonham, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. They were then known as the New Yardbirds. They later decided to change names.
Nearly every Led Zeppelin album soon carried the new name in place of the New Yardbirds. The name was originally a term used to refer to a bad gig but the association with a famous European family which pioneered the Zeppelin airships led to some threat of legal action. Despite the statements from a countess in the family however, the protest seems to have been isolated on a local level. Today, the band has retained its popular name.
They didn't immediately hit the record studios, preferring instead to go straight on tour. In their first year, they played in English territory but eventually took the leap to America where they were warmly accepted. The first album that carried the band's name finally came out in 1969. It only took five years for this piece of work to bring in $7,000,000 and to think it cost only over a thousand pounds to make.
The group used their name in two other succeeding Led Zeppelin albums. The second release is widely considered a true masterpiece and has become the basis of various other bands' musical styles. The third work was less celebrated during its time because it did not follow the typical hard rock formula. It had acoustic elements and folk influences that stood in contrast with the styles in the first and second releases. This however was really proof of the band's versatility.
The fourth album is an entirely unique one because it is officially still untitled. This was done intentionally so the band could prove a point. They wanted to show their critics that they could sell their music even if it didn't have a name to it. They were able to predict the commercial outcome since the album was able to sell millions of copies in America and beyond.
With their point proven, the group went on to work on more albums, this time with original names that did not capitalize on the Led Zeppelin name. Up to 1982, they released Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, Presence, In Through the Out Door and Coda.
The last of the Led Zeppelin albums is aptly named. It is a coda because the band had officially disbanded in 1982 after the death of Bonham. For a band that had played together with hardly any line-up changes, the loss of one member seemed to disturb the existing harmony. Nonetheless, the band's music is arguably endures as the best there is.
