Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin only made records for about 12 years, and rock radio still hasn’t caught its breath. “Whole Lotta Love” sits at No. 1 on our Classic Rock chart, and on Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio the riffs of Jimmy Page and the howl of Robert Plant never really go out of rotation.

▶ Hear Led Zeppelin on Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio, live and free, 24/7

What’s new with Led Zeppelin

• Robert Plant is on the road. He’s touring the U.S. this fall with his band Saving Grace, wrapping up in Chicago on October 15, 2026, and has been reviving Zeppelin’s “Ramble On” in his sets and on TV.
• The story on film. Becoming Led Zeppelin, the first documentary made with the band’s participation, reached theaters in 2025.
• No reunion. The band’s last full concert remains the 2007 tribute show at London’s O2 Arena.

Station picks: the Led Zeppelin songs to start with

Our five essentials:

1. Whole Lotta Love (1969). The riff that launched a thousand garage bands, and No. 1 on our chart.
2. Stairway to Heaven (1971). The slow build, the solo, the payoff. It earns every one of its eight minutes.
3. Immigrant Song (1970). Two and a half minutes of Viking war cry.
4. Black Dog (1971). Plant calls, the band answers, and the riff twists every time you think you’ve got it.
5. Kashmir (1975). Strings, brass and a groove the size of a mountain range.

Three deep cuts worth your time:

1. The Rain Song (1973). Page’s most beautiful guitar work, with John Paul Jones on Mellotron.
2. Ten Years Gone (1975). Layered guitars and a bittersweet lyric from Physical Graffiti.
3. Achilles Last Stand (1976). Ten galloping minutes of John Bonham and a wall of overdubbed guitars.
