Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time. One would be surprised at how many bands were influenced by them. Bands such as Alice Cooper, Queen, Aerosmith, Guns n’ Roses, Metallica, and Van Halen were all influenced by Zeppelin. On stage Zeppelin had a macho presence that people loved. Robert Plant (singer) had a voice of an angel that can be remembered through songs such as Dazed and Confused and The Ocean. His voice influenced singers such as Jeff Buckley, Sammy Hagar, and Freddy Mercury.
Not only did Led Zeppelin influence rockstars, they changed the future of rock. Some people think that Zeppelin “as being the first band to invent the genre of Heavy Metal.” (quora.com), even though “about one third of its music was acoustic.” This shows that metal bands today stemmed from Zeppelin. Overall, Jimmy Page’s strong power chords on his Fender Telecaster and John Bonham’s incredible speed on his drums created a sound that no band had ever made.
