Led Zeppelin started about 30 years ago, is personally one of the 5 best rock bands ever.
There are many factors that can come up when describing an amazing band like Led Zeppelin.
One factor for a good rock and roll band is unique and original songwriting.
In this age people like what is been made right now.
But the truth is that most of today's bands will be forgotten tomorrow.
The songwriting today is very shallow, commercial, uninventive and will soon be forgotten.
Led Zeppelin's music was very much influenced by American black blues artists.
Led Zeppelin also had a strong folk side to their music, with many beautiful ballads and slower songs.
One other factor for a good band is the rhythm section.
What was the band's rhythm section? Maybe the best ever.
Where John Bonham's drumming was so good is the groove skill almost unmatched by any other drummer.
The steady beat flow that shakes like an earthquake! John Paul Jones contribution was so amazing, he could be cmassed as one of the best bass players ever! As a bass player i really enjoy learning his bass lines which are so melodious and full of harmonics! If we examine the bass, guitar pair where you can see in the band's amazingly unique chemistry, you have one of music's best string pair.
Few bands in history are so tight and the chemistry between the musicians so unique that if one left or died the band would finish because of the unique chemistry much like a marriage, and this is what happened to Led Zeppelin when John Bonham died.
Singer Robert plant had all the American female population locked in attention, a white men singing the blues very skillfully.
His power and presence on stage was very powerful.
His singing style also was unique influenced by rare kind of music made Led Zeppelin one of the best bands in the world ever!
