{{Quotation|title=|text= '''Dean:''' Alright, if you're goin' to be talking now, this is a very important phrase, so I want you to repeat it back to me one more time.<br>'''Lucas:''' Zeppelin rules!<br>'''Dean:''' That's right, up high.<br>|author= [[Dean]] and [[Lucas Barr]]|source= [[1.03 Dead in the Water]]}} Led Zeppelin were an English rock band, who first formed together in London, England in 1968 as the New Yardbirds. The line-up consisted of Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards) , and John Bonham (drums). The New Yardbirds would last from September 1968 to October 1968, where ; on October 25th 25, 1968, they played their first show under the moniker Led Zeppelin at the University of Surrey in Battersea.
Series creator [[Eric Kripke]] has cited Led Zeppelin as his favorite band. In an interview with Inside TV, Kripke reveals that he first heard Led Zeppelin’s music at age eight or nine, when his older brother Matt was playing his ''Physical Graffiti '' LP. "From that point onward, I was always a huge fan." While the show's soundtrack was heavily influenced by Kripke's private record collection, he was never able to get the rights to play Zeppelin on the show, pointing out the expensive licensing costs.[[File:S15-FinalEpisodes.jpg|right|350px]]Led Zeppelin are also [[Dean Winchester]]'s favorite band. Within the show Dean has cited his favorite songs as "Ramble On" and "Traveling Riverside Blues" in episode [[4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book]], and in [[8.14 Trial and Error]] a vinyl copy of Led Zeppelin's debut album can be seen in Dean's bedroom in the [[Men of Letters Bunker]]. Dean got his love of the band from his parents. We learn in [[12.01 Keep Calm and Carry On]] that Mary first gave her phone number to John because he "knew the words to every Zeppelin song".
