Robert was in many bands prior to joining Zeppelin, here are a few that I can remember:
New Memphis Bluesbreakers, Crawling King Snakes, Band Of Joy, Black Snake Moan, The Delta Blues Band, Listen, Hobbstweedle. And of course, "The New Yardbirds" for a short period of time, but technically that was Zeppelin.
As well as his first try at being a solo artist in '67 on the CBS label, but the singles, "Laughing, Crying, Laughing" and "Long Time Coming" didn't really make a dent on the charts.

Jimmy page who played with John Paul Jones in the Yardbirds suggested the local singer he seen and Robert Plant suggested his friend for playing drums. The group had to known musician and two unknown musicians. Before calling themselves Led Zeppelin they where called the New Yardbirds by fans.
