Deep Purple
To say a band like Deep Purple sounds like Led Zeppelin is quite a bold statement. In fact, both bands were formed at similar times during 1968, although Zeppelin rose to household name status a few years before Deep Purple. So it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say Led Zeppelin had an influence on Deep Purple’s sound. However, Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple is said to have teased Led Zeppelin for stealing their sound! The truth is there are similarities but both deserve credit for their i...
Black Sabbath
Another absolute heavyweight in the story of hard rock, Black Sabbath has had an equal impact on music as Led Zeppelin. Tony Iommi’s dark, almost satanic riffs combined with Ozzy Osbourne’sshrieking vocals are certainly distinct but there are points where they share similarities with Led Zeppelin. Iommi famously lost two fingertips on his right hand at a young age due to an accident at a factory he worked in. This might not have been such an issue in terms of his guitar playing, but as he is...
The Who
Another band formed in the 1960s, so it’s understandable that the two share some similarities. Arguably, The Who had more of a leaning toward pop musicin some of their tracks like My Generation. But they were still a band that matched Zeppelin’s live energy. Depending on who you ask, some would claim Jimmy Page beats Pete Townsend to the post as a more talented guitarist, whilst Townsend was a better overall songwriter. Regardless of opinion, both are great bands with some truly great moments...
If we’re talking about a band as influential as Led Zeppelin then we’re obviously going to come across new bands that cite them as an inspiration. It’s no surprise to hear their style being passed on through generations of bands, even those that you wouldn’t label as classic rock.
Why is Stairway To Heaven a ‘Forbidden Riff’?
There’s a lot of back story to this. If you’ve ever hung around a guitar store, there’s likely a bunch of riffs you’ll hear played again, and again, and again. Usually said in jest, there are certain songs to avoid playing when trying out a guitar, such as Smells Like Teen Spirit, Smoke On The Water, or Enter Sandman. Stairway To Heaven is one of these. To read more about the ‘forbidden riff’ check out our article on Stairway To Heaven.
What do critics say about Greta Van Fleet?
As we’ve mentioned, Greta Van Fleet is certainly reminiscent of Led Zeppelin. Personally, we don’t feel this is necessarily a bad thing, but as with many bands who have a clear influence on their music, critics often don’t take well to them! When their debut album Anthem of the Peaceful Army was released in 2018, many jumped straight onto the band’s sound and discounted them due to their similarities to Led Zeppelin. That’s not to say their music isn’t enjoyable, but it did seem to be the cas...
Why did Led Zeppelin break up?
It’s not uncommon to hear about in-band arguments or disagreements causing breakups. Often it’s personal or creative differences, sometimes it just comes down to money. Led Zeppelin, unfortunately, had a much darker trigger to their break up in 1980 when their drummer John Bonham sadly died. Choosing not to replace him, the band released a statement saying they would not continue without him out of respect for his legacy.

- “Stairway To Heaven” In Wayne’s World. There’s a great lampoon of every budding guitarist who ever plucked out the most simplistic riff they could memorize in Wayne’s World.
- “Immigrant Song” In Thor: Ragnarok. The Norse mythology-themed lyrics of “Immigrant Song” made it a perfect fit for the Thor franchise. When Taika Waititi was pitching his vision for Thor: Ragnarok, he came to Marvel with a series of clips from existing movies that established the comical tone he wanted to create — and he set those clips to “Immigrant Song.”
- “Tangerine” In Almost Famous. There are five Led Zeppelin tracks in Almost Famous — “The Rain Song,” “That’s the Way,” “Misty Mountain Hop,” “Bron Yr Aur,” and “Tangerine” — but the latter is the most memorable.
- “When The Levee Breaks” In Argo. Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning gem Argo is a tense political thriller chronicling the 1979-1981 Iran hostage crisis, in which a CIA agent managed to rescue six U.S. diplomats from Tehran by pretending to scout locations for a sci-fi movie.
Court rules Led Zeppelin did not plagiarize riff for "Stairway to Heaven" Again. Malofiy is a mauve-suit-wearing ambulance-chaser representing people who have only the most tenuous connection to the work in question. I know the hipsters in here love to vilify Page but it's a common chord progression whether anyone likes it or not.
