Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band’s heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music.

Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 22 October 1969 by Atlantic Records. It was recorded from January to August 1969 while the band toured North America and the United Kingdom; its production is credited entirely to songwriter and lead guitarist Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin II is the band’s first album recorded with audio engineer Eddie Kramer, whose techniques appreciably influenced their later work.
