The band was originally formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page under the name "The New Yardbirds," based on Page's previous band, The Yardbirds. While The New Yardbirds arose at first simply to fulfill some performance commitments booked in Scandinavia before the original band's break-up, Page attempted to create a rock-supergroup out of the new band, which would have been composed of the Yardbirds' own Page and Jeff Beck, The Who's Keith Moon and John Entwistle(who were considering leaving their band), and possibly Steve Winwoodor Steve Marriott. After Page's attempt at forming a supergroup failed, Page filled the band with vocalist Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and former Yardbirds bassist Chris Dreja. After Dreja left early in the project to become a photographer (and would later take the photograph that appeared on the back of the group's debut album), he was replaced by Page's long-time friend and fellow London recording session player John Paul Jones. Page's first choice as singer, Terry Reid, declined the opportunity but unselfishly recommended Plant, who accepted and then brought in his old friend Bonham from the defunct Band Of Joy.

Led Zeppelin
Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhhh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow
Hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming, yeah
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhhh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow
How soft your fields so green
Whispered tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
Baby baby, ho-o-h-ohh, overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite all your losing
