Answers:
When forming Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page approached Keith Moon and John Entwistle of the Who to join the band, the "New Yardbirds"!. They told Jimmy Page that a super group consisting of Jeff Beck, Page, and themselves would go down like a "lead balloon"(lead balloon was an expression Entwistle used to describe a poor gig)!. The word balloon was dropped and replaced by zeppelin (a synonym of an air balloon)!. Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin's tour manager, then suggested that the "a" in "lead" should be dropped as well, since he believed thick Americans would pronounce it leed!.
Another story was that after Led Zeppelin completed their Scandinavian tour under the name the "New Yardbirds", the band read a bad review in a newspaper, which stated that the they would go down like a lead zeppelin!. After discussion, the band decided to change their name from the "New Yardbirds" to Led Zeppelin!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Keith Moon [The Who] said the band would sink like a lead zeppelin!. So they named it so, and removed the 'a' so Americans wouldn't pronounce it 'leed'!. =]Www@Enter-QA@Com
