| Hate to be a Kiljoy, but, if I'm right, I didn't even have to Wikigoogle this one. Led Zeppelin (NME's top tip for 1968) never had chart single success that I knew of. I remember my undergraduate pub had a 7" vinyl "Immigrant Song" on the jukebox. I remember we'd put it on often and join in the opening "hyyeeeaarghah". A candidate for "cool song intros" in fact. IIRC, they came up with the name after a chum said "they'd go down like a lead zeppelin" but I don't know if they had a diff name prior to that. |

Nope. Think 'orgasm'
That's my final clue. I've already given way too many. |

Bass, it was supposedly Keith Moon who said they'd go down like a lead balloon. There were a few 7" vinyls released in the USA but in the UK they had no singles. Didn't one of their albums (Physical Graffitti, I think) make the US singles chart because it sold so many copies it eclipsed everything? (Or is that just legend?) Also, I believe their original moniker was "The New Yardbirds".
Sorry Mike, back to the quiz... |

That makes me want to say The Buzzcocks, but they were hardly formed in the 60s. |

Neither did they record 18 albums. One album, wasn't it? |
