Led Zeppelin

Rock
Rock

Led Zeppelin is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Blind Willie Johnson, Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground and Kansas Joe McCoy. Those roots explain a lot about how Led Zeppelin arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Robert Plant, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Adams, Carabao and Motörhead, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 387 connections around Led Zeppelin, reaching back through Robert Johnson and forward to Alanis Morissette.
