i remember this era ! we were barely in highschool & herdrock metal heads ! & NO1 COULD CHANGE US! but Robert Plant did ! he reached our ears & reminded us what "else" music is ! kinfa like the wayZEP showed us hard rockers to appreciate "the ocean" AND "all of my love" ! he was like the big brother that you cant help but watch & see & admire how he walked his own path ! & in a way he raised us to be sO much more than what we could have become !
thats not to say he cant rock anymore! he did so in 2007, checkout his voice during KASHMIR ! U WONT BELIEVE WHAT u hear! & I suspect somthing that just may reflect ALL sides of his personality & it ALL come together in 2014! !
This was a great time in his solo career, those first 12 years (81-93) he put out some great music (sans the majority of Shaken & Stirred : 'Little By Little' was one of his best tunes, not sure why the rest of the album was very weak!). His 1993 album was pretty disappointing, as was his band for the tour. I can't understand why he changed up his band personnel so much, the first 2 bands backing him were absolutely great. His solo work from 1993 to now is pretty .."meh".... I think it shows the midsets of the "fan" who will like anything an artist puts out, seeing as so many people are happy with it.
