discussion of what “original music” is through the examination of the musical style of British band ‘Led Zeppelin’ who were active from 1968 through to 1980, after the death of drummer John Bonham.

However, when it comes to their classification as a musical genre, there is much debate, not only from fans or their music, but from the band members themselves. In this discourse, I will examine whether or not the band can be labeled as…

Recorded in 1972 and released in 1973, Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song” displays the bands creative genius in producing a ballad that has stood the test of time. At the suggestion of Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, following a discussion with George Harrison…
