Description

The albums Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy were re-issued in expanded editions at the end of 2014. Whole Lotta Love was voted as the Greatest Guitar Riff of All Time by Radio 2 listeners. Robert Plant's 10th solo album Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar has received critical acclaim and listed in the Top Albums of 2014. This book shoots down the folklore and assumptions about Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham, and presents the band's full history, from when Jimmy Page was playing skiffle to the day the band was honoured by the Kennedy Center for their contribution to American and global culture. Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin captures the ideas of all of the band's members at the time they created classics like "Whole Lot of Love," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Kashmir," but also captures the idea of the band itself as it created the music that changed popular culture.
