1966:as The Yardbirds

Top of the Pops (TOTP) was a BBC music show broadcast from 1964 to 2006. Each show featured the top bands of the week and ran down the music of the charts. While the show no longer exists as a weekly program, a special edition.is broadcast on Christmas Day and a weekly show airs performances from the BBC archives of the 1970s and 1980s.

A sample from Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love was used as the TOTP theme music for much of the 1970s, and from May 1998 to November 2003 a cover version was used.

1968 as The Yardbirds
It might come as a surprise to some, but Robert Plant can play musical instruments as well as sing. You might know about the harmonica, but there's a rumor he played a bit of bass on one of the earlier albums. I haven't tracked it down but if you know, please share!
