Encyclopedia: XYZ (band)

XYZ was the proposed name for an abortive supergroup. The name XYZ is taken from eX-Yes-&-Zeppelin as 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, citing his dislike for complex progressive rock [1]. Without a commitment from Robert Plant, the project was shelved shortly thereafter. Squire has also mentioned Page's personal problems at the time were one of the motives for the dissolution of the band .
