Shortly after their first tour, the group's eponymous first album was released on 12th January 1969. Its blend of blues and rock influences with distorted amplification made it one of the pivotal records in the evolution of heavy metal music. Although several of Led Zeppelin's earliest songs were based on or were cover versions of blues standards, others such as "Communication Breakdown" had a unique and distinctively heavy sound. Led Zeppelin also featured delicate acoustic guitar on "Black Mountain Side" in which the influence of Davy Graham can be heard, and a combination of acoustic and electric approaches on the reworked folk song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You".

Another famous musician was Elvis Presley who dazzled crowds of his peers with songs like “Heartbreak Hotel”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, and “Jailhouse Rock”. Most of the rock music you heard and listened to was inspired and composed by black musicians and later inherited by whites.

On December 4th 2008 a lawsuit was filed against British band Coldplay by guitar rock hero, Joe Satriani, who claimed that “substantial original portions” from his 2004 rock instrumental, If I Could Fly, had been stolen by Coldplay to create their 2008 hit song, Viva La Vida.
