10 Successful Rock Acts Who Never Had A US Number 1

For better or for worse Led Zeppelin is simultaneously the most famous and infamous rock band of all time. Their legions of fans call them revolutionary, while their throngs of detractors call them plagiarists. But there is one thing that neither can deny, they were massively successful.

In just 12 years Led Zeppelin released 9 thunderously raucous albums with enduring anthems like Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused, The Immigrant Song, Black Dog and Going to California to name a few, but they came nowhere close to the number one spot on the charts.

In fact, in their illustrious history and after selling over 300 Million albums world wide Zep can only lay claim to one top ten single. And that honor belongs to 1970’s Whole Lotta Love, an innovative hard rocking trip that everyone needs to hear at least once.
