Led Zeppelin fans might have been disappointed with the rumored axing of the alleged reunion concert but CNN reported that according to Robert Plant's publicist, the report was "rubbish."

The rock band's vocals reportedly ripped up a reunion concert contract worth about $800 million, said Daily Mirror. "Jimmy [Page], John [Paul Jones] and Jason [Bonham] signed up immediately," said the report. Jason Bonham is the son of the band's late drummer John Bonham.

"It was a no-brainer for them but Robert asked for 48 hours to think about it. When he said no and ripped up the paperwork he had been given, there was an enormous sense of shock. There is no way they can go ahead without him," said the report.

Here is a short list of songs the rock band could've performed.

"Stairway to Heaven"

Released in 1971, this song was composed by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant. It is dubbed as "the greatest rock song" ever and so there's no doubt this track deserves a spot in the list.

"Dazed and Confused"

This song was a big hit and debuted on Led Zeppelin's first album. "Dazed and Confused" also made headlines in 2010.

As reported by The Guardian, the popular rock band was sued over plagiarizing the song. The person who filed the lawsuit, American folk-singer Jake Holmes, claimed ownership of the track.

"Holmes cited a 1967 copyright registration for Dazed and Confused, renewed in 1995. That song, which you can listen to here, was released in 1967 on the San Francisco-born musician's debut album," reported The Guardian.

"Whole Lotta Love"

This track is a favorite among hard rock fans and comes off Led Zeppelin's second album of the same title. Jimmy Page was and still is, heralded for his iconic guitar riffs in this song.

"Black Dog"

Led Zeppelin revealed "an unreleased, alternative take of Led Zeppelin IV opener 'Black Dog,'" reported Billboard. The album re-release, which also includes "Houses of the Holy" took place on Oct. 28. The re-mastered "Led Zeppelin IV" album sits at the no. 7 spot in the Billboard 200.

Back in 1971, "Black Dog" took the no. 15 spot in Billboards Top 100. The song title is said to refer to a stray black Labrador Retriever, noted Triple J.

"Good Times Bad Times"

Jimmy Page claims the guitar riff he wrote for this song was the most difficult. An opener on Led Zeppelin's self-titled debut album, this song also highlighted late drummer John Bonham's exceptional skills.
