    Led Zeppelin

    History has anointed Led Zeppelin as the greatest hard-rock grupp of the 1970s. The quartet emerged from a crowded field with the era’s biggest sales, several of its finest LPs, and arguably its signature song, “Stairway to Heaven.”

    At its best, early on, Led Zeppelin gave mesmerizing concerts. But the band’s records are its legacy. It’s not for everyone: To modern ears, singer Robert Plant’s lyrics sound frequently vulgar and occasionally misogynistic. He and chord-smith Jimmy Page nicked entire songs from great Black blues artists. Fifty years on, the entire Zeppelin oeuvre resonates with the distant echo of smoky adolescent bedrooms.

    Within this exhaustively researched konto, Spitz unearths a trove of caustic reviews and bitter reflections to remind us how very often the world’s greatest live-rock band played dreadful gigs, and how thoroughly Led Zeppelin was reviled — by critics, adult music fans, and even fellow p

Rock stars. Whatever those words mean to you, chances are, they owe a debt to Led Zeppelin. No one before or since has lived the dream quite like Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. In Led Zeppelin, Bob Spitz takes their full measure, for good an

    Robert Plant sings on “Ramble On” that “mine’s a tale that can’t be told,” but over the years many authors have attempted to tell the story of Led Zeppelin, with varying levels of success.

    The latest author to write a Led Zeppelin biography is Bob Spitz, a veteran American journalist best known for writing comprehensive and positively reviewed biographies of The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Ronald Reagan.

    In the grandly titled “Led Zeppelin: The Biography,” due to be released on November 9, Spitz charts a comprehensive course through Led Zeppelin’s career, relying on more than 50 interviews with associates of the band to build up a well-told story of their success.

    But fans hoping for major revelations about Led Zeppelin, whether in the studio or on stage, are likely to be disappointed.
