Zep Hed Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Pledge Pin was one of my early faves. And Far Post, perhaps because it wasn't on a Plant album (soundtrack and single B-side). Sea of Love for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in_the_evening Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I have to say Ship of Fools has some of the most beautiful guitar playing in Plan't solo canon. And some of his best singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned above, I honestly think that "Big Love" and (especially) "I Cried" are two of Robert Plant's greatest Post Led Zeppelin achievements. Yeah manic Nirvana is an amazing album & song! The song kind of reminds me of (well part of it anyway) houses of the holy days. The part just before he says Nirvana aaaaa ! anyway # 1 SLOW DANCER then in any order: Manic nirvana , Reckless love, big love , sixes and sevens , pink and black , ship of fools,Hurting kind, messing with Mekon,29 palms, young boy blues, Sea of love , Burning down one side, other arms ,Enchanter...... The first two solo albums are very underrated! I don’t think Robert appreciates those two as much as he should!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason this thread sparked a memory from the summer of 1982... when the local rock station DJ was going off because he had the "new Robert Plant solo album in my hands and at 4:00 o'clock I'm going to play you not one, but TWO tracks from it." At four he told us the album was titled Pictures At Eleven and proceeded to play Burning Down One Side and Moonlight In Samosa... It was during Samosa that I knew Robert would be just fine on his own. It was a bittersweet moment... you know the guy is going to do well on his own... but you also are acknowledging the fact that Zeppelin really are over... Sorry... got a bit off on a different tangent... anyway... five songs from solo Plant that never fail to move me... no order in particular... Big Log... just perfect Moonlight In Samosa... ummm, just perfect... again... Come Into My Life... 1993 and still perfect... The Greatest Gift... do you sense a trend here? Great Spirit... ah yes... Great Spirit come... Great Spirit come... No no not off topic , THAT was a great story of a PLANT. moment in time , your story took me RITE BACK to those first solo feelings i got too! GREAT STORY MAN, it moved me reminded me of me & an old high school friend , we connected cause he mentioned the solo release & i was like “YEA MAN ITS GREAT , your the ONLYone i even heard mention it” then i think he rode over with it on his moped & we both knew rite then we were bros!! Not sure where he is today but hope he doin alrite! I reached out yrs ago & we hung & reminisced but then never heard from him again , such is life ...sad really, BUT we both got Plant & Zep in our blood! riden in my 70 BUICK GS , blowin the doors off most every hot rod out there & doin it with class wit ROBERT PLANT crankin out the windows ! Same BAT station Same BAT channel bud! stop by! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great taste moonson !!! What a REALLY great song for back then , PERFECT , so is PINK & BLACK ! I dont even think the RADIO ever played those on the AIR ! They were PERFECT for that ERA! However most of the public NEVER EVEN heard them , still to this day! tragic! Wreckless Love one of my favorites , sO original , well they all are but love the part: BUUUUUUURN! then ROBBIE BLUNT nails it! SHOULD BE more talk of BLUNT on here!

And the whole album itself ROCKS!!! Love the heavyness, well ... better way to say it: its def in the HARD ROCK category more than any other of his solo albums!
