"Led Zeppelin hypnotized a generation around
the world with powerful rock
anthems. They synthesized wild combinations of musical
influences and defined
hard rock for the 1970's. Despite the fact that
the band has produced a
magnificent collection of poster art, it is interesting
to note that
the "plane photo" poster of the four band
members in front of their airplane
is still one of the most widely demanded rock music
posters. In the company
of the Beatles and Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin fans
will not let go of this
band. Their music means too much. In the end, the
tremendous weight of
success was too much for drummer John Bonham who
died from symptoms caused by
an alcohol overdose. But even with his passing,
we can still buy the Stairway
to Heaven. Maybe that's enough for this life." |
