Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin was a British rock band formed in 1968, widely considered one of the most influential groups in rock history.
Known for blues-based hard rock and extended improvisations, the band defined the arena rock era.
The name references a lead balloon—slang for something destined to fail—with the altered spelling preventing mispronunciation.
I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin lately.
