As rumors continue to circulate about a Led Zeppelin reunion tour (with or without Robert Plant), longtime fans, as well as new generations, just discovering the band for the first time, anxiously wait, hoping, speculating, even praying.
Whether you love them or love to hate them, there’s no arguing Zeppelin’s staying power. How well do you know the band and the legendary songs they released? Get the Led out and find out with our latest lunchtime quiz.
You’re right, they never released Stairway as a single during the band’s existence, but they released a promo single during the promotion for the 1990 remastered box set. So I got this one wrong (according to the quiz).
Also, the sheet metal question was a trick :)

Got 9 out o’ 10. Got the stupid symbols wrong.

9/10. I needed one more note on that last question.

I would have sworn that Bonham died in 79. Or did they mean what year the band broke up???

100%. Never a doubt.

Aw, screwed up the symbols one. Did you notice that two of the options on that question were the same?
It was definitely ‘80 when Bonham died. I was going to see them in DC even though I was only 14 and going to get into a shucks load of trouble with the ‘rents.
My sister claims she fell asleep at a Zep concert. Fell asleep. Right.
