early Led Zeppelin from around 1968.
Led Zeppelin was a British rock band that became one of the most popular and influential rock groups of all time.
The group debuted in 1968 with a boisterous and revolutionary approach to British blues-rock. They proved to be consistent innovators and later albums incorporated more wide-ranging influences, notably celtic folk, but remained consistently popular and accessible. More than two and half decades after the band retired in 1980, their music continues to sell well, gain widespread radio play, and influence modern rock. To date, they have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide, including over 100 million albums in the United States alone. The United States sales figure ranks third behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley, according to the Recording Association of America.
