Sampled: "When the Levee Breaks"

Sampled: "When the Levee Breaks"

Apple Music

Now this is a big beat. Thanks to the absolutely massive sound of drummer John Bonham, Led Zeppelin's version of the blues classic "When the Levee Breaks" became one of the most sampled songs of all time. Obviously a hip-hop staple, used by The Beastie Boys and Eminem, Bonham's break has shown up in tracks by trip-hoppers Massive Attack, alternative diva Bjork, shoegaze band Chapterhouse and many more. Even new age icons Enigma have sampled it. Twice.
