Led Zeppelin

==Info==
Phenomenally-popular hard rock band considered to be one of the first metal bands of all time. Their Stairway to Heaven is considered to be the greatest rock song of all time. It was the highest requested song in its day despite not being released as a U.S. single. The band was originally going to be The New Yardbirds as they were formed by former Yardbirds member Jimmy Paige. The band's name derives from the belief that "they were going to crash like a lead zeppelin". The spelling was changed so people wouldn't mispronounce the name. Their song D'yer Ma'ker is done in a reggae style and therefore pronounced "Jamaica". It is a play on the British pronunciation of "Did you make her?", after a joke playing off that pronunciation. Their song uses drumming similar to that of Keep A-Knockin' by early rock legend Little Richard, as well as referencing several early rock songs. The song The Girl I Love She Got Long, Black, Wavy Hair was recorded live at the BBC. Paige would go on to play with The Black Crowes.
