Ironic that Led Zeppelin got their name from a quote from someone (was it Ringo?) who thought that the band would go over like a "lead zeppelin."

It was Keith Moon late drummer of the Who, who I think said, "would sink like a Lead Zepplin." (see: Kid's Are Alright)

Actually that statement was the more standard "will go over like a lead balloon" and the band turned balloon into zeppelin (as I understand it)
