Her potential was just incredible as a singer. We lost a great singer way too soon. God knows what she may have accomplished.
I LOVE JANIS TOO! She is the undisputed first true queen of Rock n' Roll, enough said!

That story is so funny.
I take it that you are a hard core JANIS JOPLIN fan from your pictures? C-O-O-L!!!!!

When I was a kid living at home blaring Zeppelin in my bedroom with the door shut, my mom would open the door, tell me to turn it down, and ask, "Is that Janis Joplin?". Being from Janis' hometown, Port Arthur, TX, I've always loved her music. I discovered Zeppelin around the same time and was even more into it, so I never confused the two, but I can easily see how similar they are in almost everyway. They even wore similar blouses. And they both have a clef chin. And slept with women. etc......
ALRIGHT FELLOW TEXAN! I'm from and now living in my hometown which is San Antonio, Texas. I did live in Sacramento and Los Angeles, California for a combined 29 years. ROCK ON!

I have thought of this myself years ago. And your opinion I agree with. Very good insight.
Thanks much from one fellow Zeppelin die hard to another. ROCK ON!

He always kind of reminded me of her in Communication Breakdown. Esp. that "WHAOH!" scream at the end.
All of you are right! Everytime I have seen and heard Robert Plant sing, it feels like the spirit of Janis Joplin is possessing him.

I've never really read about it, but she must have been huge influence on him. Or perhaps they arrived at the same place because they are much the same in that they are both WASPs from middle class backgrounds who fell in love with the blues.
Another similiar case is Patti Smith's influence on U2's Bono. Although Bono does cite her as one of his chief influences. Bono has said that he very much tried to perform like Patti Smith.
If I had been a singer my choiciest influence would have been Chrissie Hynde, no doubt about that.
Patti Smith and Bono, A BEAUTIFUL MATCH! Chrissie is another. You know your R & R!

I know that this sounds weird but do you think that there are similarities between ROBERT PLANT and JANIS JOPLIN as far as singing goes? In my opinion, both singers belt out their songs with such emotion and fury and they both sing the blues almost the same identical way. Their styles are very similar. Now I ask you, my fellow ZEPPELIN die hard fanatics, what do you think?
