Led Zeppelin In 1969, as Led Zeppelin’s legend was beginning to take shape, one instrumental track would showcase the raw, physical power behind the band’s rhythm — a track that would turn drummer John Bonham into a mythic figure. That track was “Moby Dick.” When Led Zeppelin II was released in October 1969, “Moby Dick” stood out as a bold statement. In an era when guitar solos ruled, Zeppelin gave their drummer the spotlight — and in doing so, elevated the role of percussion in rock music. “Moby Dick” remains more than just an instrumental. It’s a monument to John Bonham’s genius — a reminder that sometimes, the most profound voice in a band comes not from the microphone or the guitar strings, but from the drums themselves.
