Led Zeppelin – The Most Influential Band

Led Zeppelin is the most recognized and influential band the world has ever known. It is not only through the number of fans and record breaking ticket sales but also in their contribution to the music. Some of the bands which were influenced by Led Zeppelin are as follows: The White Stripes, Sheryl Crow, The Black Crowes , Extreme, Incubus, Guns & Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Bon Jovi, Soundgarden, Creed, Ac/Dc, Van Halen,Tom Petty, Neil Young/Crazy Horse. These are the bands I am pretty sure was influenced by Led Zeppelin. Majority of the eighties rock group to be accurate are mostly have a Led Zeppelin influence.

Even pop artists of recent generation idolize and get their inspiration from Led Zeppelin. The tremendous charisma the band has is because their music has a mix of everything. Their songs were a blend of blues, pop, folk, reggae and many more. That is the main reason why most people relate to their music. It has no specific genre. If you want to compare their style of music, it’s like America in a sense that it is the melting pot of different playing styles. Sharing those unique music captured the people’s hearts.

If you still do not believe me then you are clearly not watching the news lately. Their reunion concert was the talk of the entertainment industry. Not only that, it was attended by numerous artists from RnB and hip hop icons, to pop and Rock artists. It means that the band is really and will still remain influential to them.

    Yes indeed! One of the greatest band of the 20th century.
    Yet, when you say: “It has no specific genre”. I think that through a mix of blues and rock they created a genre called hard rock. Afterwards their music went beyond this and they started to play different things (ant their music became unqualifiable :) Yet the roots are in the blues the rock and the folk (listen to I, II and III)!
