Both historically and now, British rock bands have had a significant influence on the music industry. Future generations of rock performers were made possible by groups like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who beginning in the 1960s. Known as the British Invasion, these bands offered a distinctive sound that incorporated blues, rock & roll, and pop music. Guitar solos, distorted sounds, and strong voices were some of the new styles and methods that were brought by this movement to the music industry.

The British invasion inspired their American competitors to increase their game. Rock was not invented by them, but they improved and redefined it in ways we never imagined imaginable. They rocked the ground to its very core, and part of that movement is still felt today.

They had a profound impact on subsequent generations of artists, and their total contribution to rock is so vast that it is still common to hear their music played on classic rock radio. Let’s review the top bands the Brits have given in the past. Of course, everyone has their own perspective, therefore it’s challenging to choose a top 10.

We’ve nonetheless tried it. We list the top 10 British bands ever as follows.

10. The Clash

The Clash released a string of iconic albums between 1977 and 1985, ranging from the angst-filled exuberance of their self-titled debut to the ambitious genre-bending attempts of London Calling and Sandinista. The band famously performed at Rock Against Racism and supported left-leaning politics in their songs. They stood up for worthy causes. The Clash is the best punk band Britain has ever produced—forget the Sex Pistols.

They bragged about their variety and refused to limit themselves to a single musical genre. In fact, they mixed other musical genres into their song and managed to do so without losing their band’s distinctive sound. The Clash were there to give fans what they never imagined they wanted when the UK’s punk wave arrived. They were and always will be a crucial component of the punk music scene.

9. Black Sabbath

In the late 1960s, Ozzy Osbourne joined forces with fellow Britons Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Tony Iommi to form the incredibly influential Black Sabbath, which essentially pioneered heavy metal.

Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin were among the first bands to develop the heavy metal subgenre, earning them the moniker the Unholy Trio. This is especially true considering that Black Sabbath was widely known for utilizing occult themes and horror aesthetics.

Who else eats a live bat’s ear or snorts a line of ants, except Ozzy Osbourne and his wacky antics? Instead, it’s the whole band, and Ozzy Osbourne is included in the deal. They were well ahead of their time and had great commercial success. To put it mildly, they essentially left everyone else in the dust at the height of their careers.

The band’s two albums, Paranoid and 13, respectively, peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Despite the fact that only “Paranoid” reached the top place, Black Sabbath received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their body of work.

8. The Who

The Who is without a doubt one of the most important musical groups of the 20th century. Their position as one of the best live rock performers was further cemented by their appearance at Woodstock in 1969.

The Who were a crucial part of mod culture and had a significant impact on British cinema and fashion.One of the most ground-breaking aspects of The Who was their use of technology in music, despite the fact that their music was immensely popular and contributed to the development of the hard rock genre.

The group was a pioneer in the use of synthesizers, amps, and PA systems. Their best-charting songs, “My Generation,” “I’m a Boy,” and “Happy Jack” are proof of this.

7. The Kinks

We are really perplexed as to why The Kinks are still not well-known. They still didn’t receive the respect they richly deserve even after all these years.

The work and impact of The Kinks are hugely influential on a ton of bands. One of the best rock riffs ever is You Really Got Me, and let’s not forget that the band’s Dave Davis really developed distortion by slicing the cones in his amplifier with a razor blade. Since then, distortion has been a crucial component of the sound of rock and roll.

It is impossible to exaggerate how important they are to rock and it is a great shame that they are still not given enough credit. Any band that came after them should be submitting to them because of how much they contributed to the genre.

6. Cream

When three rock legends decide to collaborate musically, this is what happens. This rock power trio was capable of defeating any foe. Even though the band members had only been working together for a little over two years, they are still among the greatest in this part of the globe. You just needed Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton to produce that enormous sound.

Their live shows were consistently shocking, mind-blowing, and spectacular. If you weren’t impressed, you must be the issue.

5. The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones could easily top any list of legendary British rock bands since they are without a doubt one of the most influential British rock bands of all time. Before the Stones were established with Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Ian Stewart in the 1950s, childhood pals Mick Jagger and Keith Richards collaborated on a memorable musical project as young children.

Like other musicians, they had highs and lows. Nonetheless, they were unbeatable when they were performing at their best. They were on the front lines as the British invasion reached the American coast.

Although they may have certain songs that are overplayed and overexposed, their library also has neglected songs that are just as amazing. Their musical progression is fantastic.

Fans of music will always engage in the simplistic “Beatles vs. Stones” debate, but it’s impossible to resist the swagger and sheer riffage on show on the iconic Stones albums Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street.

4. Queen

Another band that has demonstrated that excellent music is everlasting is Queen, who was famously led by the iconic Freddie Mercury in their prime.

Queen was one of the world’s most popular arena bands in the 1980s. Their effect is still felt now, decades later. The band gained popularity thanks to Mercury’s distinctive voice and compositional skills, especially in the 1970s and 1980s. They had sold-out shows and chart-topping albums throughout their career, with the 1985 Live Aid event being the most noteworthy and widely regarded as the pinnacle of rock music.

Talent, theatrics, and musical ability—Queen had it all. They also have one of the finest frontmen to ever walk the globe, of course. There is no other way to describe all of their live performances but spell-binding and magical.

3. Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is a British psychedelic band that was founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. It is frequently regarded as the pioneering and most well-known band in the progressive rock genre.

Thanks to Pink Floyd, psychedelia and progressive rock were never the same. We are reminded of how timeless their avant-garde and quirky works are through songs like “Wish You Were Here,” “The Wall,” and “The Dark Side of the Moon.” Don’t even get us started on David Gilmour’s breathtaking guitar solos; one is enough to enchant everyone in the room.

Pink Floyd has produced some of the most proficient and popular UK rock music ever while continuously exhibiting a quirkiness and idiosyncrasy that are uniquely British. David Gilmour continues to be one of his generation’s most admired guitarists, and the prog rock titans are among the most financially successful British bands ever.

2. Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin was an early hard rock band that formed in 1968 that incorporated elements of what would become known as heavy metal. Robert Plant sang Jimmy Page played guitar, John Paul Jones played bass and keyboard, and John Bonham played drums for the ensemble.

Nobody could compare to them when they worked together. Even after all these years, they remained unrivaled as far as rock gods go.

Amazing albums and everlasting masterpieces make up their incredible heritage. They also sound just as good—or in some cases, even better—live than on record. Who among them has such claims?

With many bands recognizing them as a key influence, they were pioneers of the hard rock and heavy metal trends in the 1970s thanks to their distinctive, heavy, but blues-inspired sound.

1. The Beatles

We occasionally wonder why The Beatles are what they are because of humankind. The Fab Four are frequently the first to spring to mind when we think of the British Invasion. They quickly transitioned from pop idols to rock legends, and although not as flamboyant as other bands, they more than made up for it with their masterful composition.

You cannot dispute The Beatles’ status as the biggest and most influential band in history, regardless of whether you agree with them or not. And by “globally,” we do not only mean in Britain.

The current generation is still singing and praising their tunes. That certainly says a lot. In addition, they improved the world with their music, which speaks for itself. Although they had excellent solo careers, as a band, they were outstanding.

Stevie Ray Vaughan had a significant impact on both blues and rock music. He was renowned for his superb guitar abilities, heartfelt singing, and exhilarating performances that enthralled crowds all around the world. Vaughan’s playing and composition were so original that they inspired numerous other musicians. His approach was greatly influenced by blues legends like Albert King and Jimi Hendrix.

His entry into the music industry was swift but powerful, and he left behind many amazing tunes that will endure throughout the ages. And regrettably, there aren’t many videos of him. You can now watch rare footage of Stevie performing in 1986 as he warms up.

Be aware that Stevie Ray Vaughan is only warming up. Even the most skilled guitarists require a few minutes before they are ready to play, but SRV is an exception. He may just enter the stage, where he can begin instantly shredding brilliantly. It’s nearly unearthly, for real!

He also once said, “I really have been wanting to sit down in my room and play, because that’s what started it, that’s like going back to square one. I’m starting to remember that some of the biggest doors that have been opened in my life have sometimes been the hardest things to do.”

He was killed in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin, on the morning of August 27, 1990. After a concert by Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, and his older brother Jimmie Vaughan the day before at the Alpine Valley Music Theater, SRV went on to perform there as well.

Stevie saw an open seat in a chopper with some of Clapton’s crew and chose to board. The musicians had access to four aircraft. Due to the cloudy sky and dense fog, Stevie’s helicopter made a mistake turn and collided with a ski slope. One of the finest representatives of Blues-Rock had died, and there were no survivors.

Despite his untimely death in 1990, SRV’s music continues to be celebrated and revered by fans and fellow musicians alike, cementing his legacy as one of the most important figures in music history.

Due to his distinctive and influential guitar-playing style, his capacity to create and perform popular songs, and his associations with other accomplished musicians, Eric Clapton has enjoyed a lengthy and fruitful career. As a solo performer and as a part of the bands Cream and The Yardbirds, he has received three inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

As he is frequently mentioned as one of the guitar idols of the younger generation, he has gained significant influence on them. But in terms of personality? It’s entirely different. The famed guitarist’s personal life garners interest in the same way that his musical career does. As one of the most well-known rock artists in the world, every comment he makes in interviews or performances sparks debate, which eventually makes other musicians avoid him.

While many people appreciated the artist for his endeavors in the music industry, others claimed that he was difficult to get along with. In real life, they would characterize Clapton as cocky and disagreeable.

They loathed Clapton for many reasons, including his prejudice toward non-white people. In the 1970s, Eric Clapton gained notoriety for endorsing the “Keep Britain White” campaign, in which he pushed people of color to leave the nation. Since then, Clapton has regretted expressing all of those things, but the harm has already been done. This inspired the populace to start an anti-racist campaign.

Eric Clapton was called a racist for speaking out against the rising immigration during a concert in Birmingham while under the influence of alcohol.

He also abuses women, especially when intoxicated. In addition, he stirred up further controversy when he said that he doesn’t want to play on a stage if the audience is segregated into two groups based on whether or not they have had vaccinations. He co-wrote the anti-vax song “Stand and Deliver” with Van Morrison, which was met with a ferocious outcry from those who are actively attempting to destroy Covid-19. He hasn’t offered any further commentary since then.

According to his fans, he has also distanced himself from the talented musician he once was, which has altered public perception of his artistic ability. Clapton is merely evidence that having a terrible personality doesn’t excuse you from being famous for your work. There aren’t many guitarists complimenting his demeanor, apparently, since he’s not the most popular artist to be around and communicate with interpersonally.

Few musicians can equal the things he performed during his career as a rock and roll musician in the 1970s and 1980s despite his unassuming appearance and lack of interest in attention.

Seger got his start in music in the 1960s by playing in a number of Detroit-based bands. In 1969, he issued his debut album, “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” which featured the popular title tune.

With the help of his backing band, the Silver Bullet Band, Seger rose to fame throughout the 1970s and put out several popular albums, including “Live Bullet,” “Night Moves,” and “Stranger in Town.” His music incorporated elements of rock, folk, and blues, and his unique raspy voice delivered lyrics that frequently dealt with issues of working-class nostalgia and blue-collar existence.

Bob Seger managed to record five top 10 albums during his 12-year run with the Silver Bullet Band (1976–1987) and had 16 Top 40 singles, including “Still The Same,” during that time.

The song he composed most famously is probably Still The Same. He saw someone and used their individual lines to create the song’s persona. The subject of this song is a cunning gambler who always seems one step ahead. At first, Seger seems to be praising this man, gushing about how he still has the same winning skills. This isn’t the case, however, as Seger turns and leaves him because he hasn’t changed and because there is nothing more to say at the song’s conclusion. It’s like reconciling with an old buddy, only to be reminded of why you stayed apart.

Bob Seger discussed the character in this song with Bob Costas. He explained, “They’re just very charismatic, but they have tremendous faults, but part of the appeal is the charisma. You overlook everything because of the charisma. That’s a gift and a curse.”

He clarified that the song’s inspiration was:

“People have asked me for years who it’s about. It’s an amalgamation of characters I met when I first went to Hollywood. All ‘Type A’ personalities: overachieving, driven.”

The opening words of the song, which peaked at #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 list, are dripping with the frontman’s adulation. The lyrics describe a desire to remain loyal to oneself in spite of prosperity and celebrity as well as a sense of melancholy.

The iconic 1969 event took a turn for the worst as violent incidents led to injuries and fatalities.

Over their lengthy history, The Rolling Stones have delivered several spectacular performances, including their 1969 US Tour, which they concluded with a free concert in California. During the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in 1969, they were joined by the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, and, Nash, and Young. Now, new footage from the event has come to light.

Although Altamont may have left Jefferson Airplane with a sad recollection of their career, it doesn’t mean they didn’t rock it to its fullest potential. Ask any of the participants in the incident, and they will all quickly acknowledge how horrible and traumatizing it was. A free event dubbed “Woodstock West” was attended by more than 300,000 people at Altamont Speedway, which was hailed as “the new Woodstock.” The Rolling Stones documentary by the Maysles brothers, which wrapped up with the event, was seen as a suitable conclusion to their body of work.

The Flying Burrito Brothers, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Santana, the Stones, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and the lineup of the Grateful Dead and the Grateful Dead are all really fantastic bands. However owing to how chaotic the stage became as a result of the hired security, known as Hell’s Angels, what first appeared to be an innocent, enjoyable, and eagerly anticipated performance turned out to be one of the greatest nightmares in rock history.

Using everything else they could find, the Angels beat up scores of concertgoers. Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane was knocked. Stephen Stills was repeatedly stabbed in the leg by an unidentified angel using a sharpened bicycle spoke. There were four fatalities. A young man drowned in a canal used for irrigation. Two men were killed in a hit-and-run after the performance. Before the Stones finished playing, a black 18-year-old named Meredith Hunter was fatally wounded by Alan Passaro, a member of the security team who was a Hells Angel.

For Grace Slick, the whole day was a bad experience. She said, “They said Altamont was the end of an era, which more or less is true, It coincided with the way things rise and fall. Everything does that. Look at the Roman Empire. Sometimes it takes two years, sometimes it takes 500. Everything is born, rises, and then dies.”

Giving credit where credit is due entails appreciating the music that was provided by the festival. Watch this performance by Jefferson Airplane to take a trip down memory lane.

Freddie Mercury, the legendary frontman of the British rock band Queen, revolutionized the world of rock and roll with his distinctive voice, flamboyant personality, and dynamic stage presence. He was a true icon of his time, known for his powerful vocals, theatrical performances, and flamboyant style.

Freddie had a deep love for music from an early age. He was naturally quite bashful and turned to other celebrities for inspiration, despite the fact that he went on to become one of the greatest showmen of all time.

Even if Freddie Mercury wasn’t totally forthcoming with his thoughts on other rock musicians, there was one individual he frequently admired. The Queen legend said many things about the guitarist, who was the well-acclaimed Jimi Hendrix.

He was a student at Ealing Art College in the late 1960s when he was still known as Farrokh Bulsara and studying art and design in addition to aspiring to be a musician. He drew the musician, had a photo of Hendrix in his bedroom mirror, and dressed exactly like him. Together with that, Mercury would visit different parts of the nation to see the guitarist perform.

Mercury also explained his love for Jimmy in an interview which was revived by Express UK. He explained, “Jimi Hendrix was just a beautiful man, a master showman and a dedicated musician. I would scour the country to see him, whenever he played, because he really had everything any rock’n’roll star should have; all the style and presence. He (Hendrix) didn’t have to force anything. He’d just make an entrance and the whole place would be on fire. He was living out everything I wanted to be.”

He added, “Hendrix is very important. He’s my idol. He sort of epitomises, with his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There’s no way you can compare him to anyone and there’s nobody who can take his place.”

Fascinatingly, the future leader of Queen briefly considered pursuing a career as a guitarist in the tradition of Jimi Hendrix before deciding that he would never match the legendary musician’s abilities and focusing instead on the piano. This tool would play a crucial role in the development of the iconic figure known to us all as Freddie Mercury.

Twenty years later, in the lyrics of “The Miracle,” Freddie again paid homage to the guitarist by proclaiming that Hendrix is one of the seven wonders of the world.

His lyrics stated,

“We’re having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It’s a miracle it’s a miracle it’s a miracle
It’s a miracle”

A well-known American singer-songwriter who achieved success in the 1960s and 1970s was David Crosby. He is most known for his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and the Byrds. His beautiful lyrics and musical sensitivity of Crosby made him a talented lyricist.

The Byrds’ “Eight Miles High,” “Everybody’s Been Burned,” and “Renaissance Fair” are just a few of the popular tunes he wrote for them. In addition, he wrote a number of well-known songs for Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, including “Guinnevere,” “Déjà Vu,” and “Nearly Chopped My Hair.” His distinctive fusion of folk, rock, and jazz elements, as well as his contemplative and frequently politically charged lyrics, all served to distinguish Crosby’s songwriting. He made a huge contribution to American music, and he is still regarded as a leading figure in the field today.

If Only I Could Remember My Name, David Crosby’s debut solo album released in 1971, is widely regarded as his most financially successful record to date, establishing Crosby as more than simply a former member of CSNY or The Byrds – he was his own creative entity. Nevertheless, one of the album’s most beloved pieces – which remains one of the classic Crosby songs even 50 years later – wasn’t even intended to be his song at all. Crosby instead meant to give the work to former Beatle George Harrison.

In order to interact with his fans whenever possible, Crosby, who just died away at the age of 81, utilized social media up to the very end. Crosby welcomed inquiries and urged participation. He was asked, “Was there any particular inspiration for ‘Laughing’? It’s a beautiful song and has helped me very much for 50 years.” It was at that moment that he revealed that the song was meant for his friend George Harrison.

While the reasons for the track’s failure and Harrison’s eventual refusal to accept are still unknown, Crosby would have considered it a dream come true to have the chance to compose for a former Beatle. He admitted to MusicRadar back in 2014, “seeing The Beatles made something else click. It changed my life. They changed my life. Let’s be very specific about that.”

He added, “Watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was wonderful. I was shocked… in such a good way. Of course, none of us had seen that kind of reaction from kids before, not for anybody. I think most people were amazed at the reaction, the screams, and the hysteria. How could you not be?”

“I was amazed, too, but more so by the sheer musicality of it and The Beatles’ ability to project what a confident, joyful, and beautiful band they were. I’d never seen anything like them before – or since. But, you know, it’s always about the music. Those guys could really play and sing. They had the goods. And they really had the songs.”

Crosby, who shared similar skepticism, utilized this song to convey his ideas without seeming patronizing. In the song, he declares that “a child laughing in the sun” is the only one who is aware of the truth.

According to Songfacts, David wrote the song after, “George Harrison told him about a guru from India he had met who seemed to have the answers to life’s big questions. That guru was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Harrison and his fellow Beatles went to India study transcendental meditation with him in 1968. Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Ringo Starr quickly grew skeptical, but Harrison believed in the teachings.”

Nirvana revolutionized the rock music scene with its unique sound that came to be known as grunge. They blended punk and heavy metal music, creating a raw and powerful sound that resonated with the youth of the 90s. Nirvana’s lyrics were introspective and often touched on themes of alienation and despair, which struck a chord with many young people at the time.

The success of Nirvana’s album “Nevermind” in 1991 propelled grunge into the mainstream and influenced a generation of musicians. Grunge became a cultural movement, with Seattle serving as its epicenter. Other notable grunge bands that emerged during this time include Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.

They had a successful career with so many great songs in their discography. However, that cannot be said for all the songs up their pocket. Here are some of their songs that didn’t feel like them.

R*** Me

While some argue that the song is a critique of the media’s sensationalism of sexual violence, others find it insensitive and offensive.

Guitar chugging that is both light and strong, a tune that is nearly pop, and upsetting, provocative lyrics. From a melodic perspective, it is totally appropriate. Kurt Cobain’s displeasure with the predicament Nirvana had put themselves in by unintentionally becoming the most popular losers in America is summed up in the song, in which he also played guitar.

The title itself is provocative and can be seen as minimizing the severity of the sexual assault. Overall, the song’s content and title are likely to be upsetting for many listeners and can perpetuate harmful attitudes toward sexual violence.

Endless, Nameless

It has the same vibe as the pouting adolescent musically. The music is really insane, but it kind of enjoys its own agony and doesn’t want you to listen to it in order to assist it.

As Krist Novoselic tunes his bass down 28 semitones into Hell, you can hear Kurt Cobain stubbing his toe and bursting into flames. Don’t get us wrong; this isn’t a bad song, but it doesn’t work in the context of one of the most influential albums of the decade, if not the century.

Scoff

Some would contend that the song is less appealing than other Nirvana successes because it doesn’t have a catchy tune or memorable lyrics. “Scoff’s” production value is not as high-end as some of Nirvana’s other songs, which might also be a factor in why it is less well-liked. The song moves on an odd axis between post-punk dissonance, sludge rock riffs, and the kind of straightforward chord changes that Cobain would have recognized from early Kiss songs.

Aero Zeppelin

It’s more of an early illustration of Cobain’s desire to strike a balance between the thrashing swagger of hard rock and punk’s twisted concept of catharsis. Its words explore the meaning of music fandom, a key concern of Cobain’s, while the music reimagines Seventies swagger in new, harder ways. A track from Incesticide with an overly optimistic title.

Hairspray Queen

Cobain cranks out scratchy vocals and indistinct funk licks, then crashes them into Krist Novoselic’s obtuse bass-walking. This is the sound of a band trying to be purposefully tough. May be enjoyable to play, but not enjoyable to hear.

Metallica’s frontman James Hetfield attributes the band’s immense success to its ability to work as a cohesive whole rather than to the individual musical abilities of its members.

The individual musicians in Metallica, according to James Hetfield, are “average” players. ” I know individually, we’re all really average players”, the Metallica singer admitted in a recent interview with Cigar Aficionado magazine.

Metallica’s members may not have been thought of as musical virtuosos throughout the years compared to many of their metal peers, with drummer Lars Ulrich sadly taking the brunt of the criticism, but Hetfield makes a strong argument. You’d be hard-pressed to find another metal act whose first five albums are as renowned as Metallica’s, save for maybe Black Sabbath. What matters most is how a band functions as a whole.

James opened up in the interview, “I know individually we’re all really average players, but when you put us together something happens. Something really happens…. Getting up and jamming with people is like a nightmare for me.”

He also talked about his stage fright during the early days. Hetfield said, “Early shows were really difficult— I was so shy. [I] didn’t want to talk. I’d have the other guys in the band introduce the songs. [Now] I feel so comfortable up there, it’s so weird. Sitting down one-on-one with someone is a lot more anxiety ridden than standing up in front of 10,000 people, 20,000 people.”

“As we get older, we would love to continue to play all the places we’ve been before but it’s near impossible to keep up the pace we’ve had, say, in the ’90s. We would go out for months at a time…We are very self-critical and hard on ourselves and have very high standards. So we do take care of all aspects of bringing the best show visually and sonically to the people that enjoy our music and continue to come to see us live.”

72 Seasons, Metallica’s 11th studio album, is scheduled for release in April. It will be supported by a widespread world tour.

The rock scene was significantly altered by George Harrison. He was the first member of the group to investigate Eastern music, which enabled Western listeners to become familiar with Indian classical music.

Then Led Zeppelin took up the torch and reinvented music once more.

Most people experience an upward enthusiasm when they get to meet and praise the heroes in their lives.

It may have been the reaction of fans when George Harrison praised Led Zeppelin, a crossing that many people said would never take place in a million years.

Led Zeppelin was unlike anyone who had come before them when they initially entered the scene.

The Fab Four were all but separated by the time Led Zeppelin started to gain notoriety, so despite the band being the antithesis of The Beatles, there was never any bad blood or competition between the two acts.

While the Beatles were working on Let It Be in the studio, engineer Glyn Johns informed him of Jimmy Page’s new band.

Harrison initially didn’t seem to remember Page but then recognized that he had heard his name spoken in connection with the Yardbirds. He first showed no interest and merely asked when lunch would be served. Yet when he heard them, his attitude was different.

The conversation went like this:

“Glyn Johns: George, do you want to hear some of this Jimmy Page album?

George: Jimmy Page?

Glyn Johns: Yeah, he just produced a new album with his new group.

George: Is he the one that was in the Yardbirds?

Glyn Johns: Yeah.

George: I think. Is lunch ready?

Glyn Johns: It’s really unbelievable. Let me, unbelievable. Very psychedelic though. Don’t you like it?

George: Not that I mind psychedelic. But he is really, and it is such a good group. It’s so tight.

Glyn Johns: John Paul Jones on bass.

George: John Paul?

Glyn Johns: Jones. On bass. Don’t you know any of them? Jimmy used him in sessions.

George: No.

Glyn Johns: He’s like the governor. He’s very young, he’s about 24. The governor bass player. Really good. And a kid called John Bonham on drums who is unbelievable.

George: I think he was on a session with Paul last year with some other people.

Glyn Johns: Yeah? He comes from Birmingham.”

Harrison developed a close bond with Led Zeppelin after being enamored with the band. The other Beatles members also met the band, but Harrison spent the most time with them.
