Led Zeppelin Gets Voted As ‘Ideal Supergroup’ In Poll

In a poll run by Planet Rock, 3,500 fans were asked to take a poll and vote for their favorite vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer of the ideal supergroup.

Interestingly enough, the winner of each category was a member of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant won for best singer, Jimmy Page won for best guitarist, John Paul Jones won for best bassist, and John Bonham won for best drummer, making Led Zeppelin, already one of the greatest rock bands of all time, also the ultimate fantasy band. Presenter Trevor Dann said of the results, “This is an amazing result. Listeners could have voted for any classic rock artists when creating their fantasy supergroup.”
