Arguably as influential as The Beatles, British compatriots Led Zeppelin have sold 300 million albums worldwide with landmark recording ‘Stairway To Heaven’ considered by many as one of the greatest singles of all time. Established in 1968, rising from the ashes of The New Yardbirds, vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham joined forces to develop a heavy, guitar-driven blues rock infusion, sounding the dawn of a new era in heavy metal and hard rock.
