XYZ was one of the first "supergroups" of the 1980s. The name XYZ is taken from eX-Yes-&-Zeppelin. The group consisted of ex-Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, along with ex-Yes members Chris Squire (bass guitar, vocals, keyboards) and Alan White (drums). Page believed the band needed a strong vocalist and sought out former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant -- Plant did attend one XYZ rehearsal in 1981 but decided not to join the group, and the project was shelved shortly thereafter.
