Bilbo the Rover Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Don't know if this is a very original idea, just wondering what Percy song is getting alot of play from you today ? Been listening to "Ship of Fools" over and over today, it's in my top five of fave Robert songs, and I listen to it when I'm in need of some clarity. Getting ready to put " The Principle of Moments" and blast "Other Arms". It's a good day to play some 80's RP. So anyway, my Robert Plant song of the day is " Ship of Fools" followed closely by "Other Arms" ( I'm not a prisoner, I'm the big parade ) Hey ! "Heaven Knows" just came on the radio as I close this ! good sign...It's a PERCY day ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have a Zep/Robert Plant mixed CD that I listen to and from work each day. And surprisingly I'm not sick of it yet! "Ship Of Fools" gets played at least twice a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ship Of Fools" gets played at least twice a day. That song really speaks to me, It always puts my mind back on track. "Song to the Siren" is another one that I listen to alot. I'm deep into 1980's Robert today ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I love Robert's solo career. It's all great, but I'm listening to 29 Palms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I love LZ, but I love what Robert's done in his solo career just as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If I Were A Carpenter Bilbo - it's great to go back to 80s Robert isn't it! I don't listen to the earlier albums as often but when I do, it's sort of like hearing them for the first time again and that great excitement that follows.

Bilbo the Rover Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Bilbo Very true indeed. Going back you realise how many different musical styles he's experimented with over the years. The wonderful thing is that he puts his stamp on it, he's influenced by such a wide variety of music, such an eclectic mix, but it all comes out "Robert Plant Music". I groovin' on "Wreckless Love" for the 8th time right now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I groovin' on "Wreckless Love" for the 8th time right now ! Absolutely. I think he takes a variety of influences and puts it through his own filters and therefore makes it not really categorizable. It's clearly him, but it's his own unique sound. Wreckless Love is a great tune. Now I think I must pull that cd out Not that it'd be a bad thing of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo the Rover Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Can't get past " Fate of Nations" today, it's on it's third go 'round in my CD player, my song of the day is the track that kicks it all off, " Calling to You". A great song with it's "little bit Kashmir, little bit Misty Mountain Hop" riff, plus Robert's throaty "OOOOOOOOOOOO" Just a thought, after my diving into 80's Robert yesterday, I was happy to rediscover that Robert never gave into the 80's music mind set. Even though there was some good, socialy conscience music that came out of the 80's, the majority of the folks just wanted to "Wang Chung Tonight" and to hell with lyrics and music that were a bit deeper. Robert stayed true to himself, even thought he toys with different musical styles, it all comes out with his distinct stamp. My RP song of the day : " Calling to You" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
