Led Zeppelin rose from the ashes of the Yardbirds. Guitarist Jimmy Page had been leading a post-Jeff Beck unit called the New Yardbirds, which he disbanded in 1968 to create his dream "psychedelic blues" band.
Recruiting his friend, bassist John Paul Jones (who'd played numerous sessions
with artists, ranging from Donovan to Herman's Hermits and Petula Clark, along
with Page throughout the '60s), Page found two talented novices in singer Robert
Plant and drummer John Bonham. Who drummer Keith Moon reportedly gave the group
its moniker when, after hearing their demo tapes, he predicted how the group
would go over--but the Zeppelin seemed to take off immediately, eventually becoming
one of the most popular bands in rock history. Their appeal never seemed to
wane until after they disbanded, following Bonham's death from overindulgence
in 1980.
