Another English band that came in the 1960s, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham were originally known as The New Yardbirds. They changed the name to Led Zeppelin after signing with a new record label that gave them the freedom to express their artistry. This allowed them the leeway to be innovative, a move that paved the way to them becoming one of the most influential bands of all time. They disdain the need to release their songs as single records, as it would detract from the overall experience of listening to the entire album. Then came the album Led Zeppelin IV, which included the song Stairway to Heaven. The song was never released as a single, but it became one of the most requested and played songs on radio. Bonham died in 1980, however, and the band disbanded soon after.
