solar Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Sixty-Six to Timbuktu is Plant's greatest hits album. It's a two-disc set with both his hits and a rarities disc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixty_Six_to_Timbuktu Edited February 5, 2008 by solar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyedye Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Fate of Nations is my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Definitely Fate Of Nations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Fate Of Nations, without a doubt. And the above compilation Solar mentioned is a good way to hear the complete range of Robert's solo career, before and after Zep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj20030 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 is 66 to timbuktu a live album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 is 66 to timbuktu a live album? It is a Robert Plant retrospective that covers a wide range of his solo material from 1966 to 2002. There are even 2 Band Of Joy songs on it, "For What It's Worth" and "Hey Joe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 All of them 66TT is a good place to get an overall introduction to Robert's solo music but it leaves out Mighty Rearranger which along with Fate of Nations, is my favorite album.

Aquamarine Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Have to put in a plug for my personal favorite Dreamland--about half solo material (early Strange Sensation stuff), half wonderful covers--I think it shows the full range of what he can do. But 66TT is also a good intro, and I also love FoN, and Mighty Rearranger. Can't go wrong with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I always loved Manic Nirvana the Indian chant in the middle of Watching You is intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I always loved Manic Nirvana the Indian chant in the middle of Watching You is intense. It is and it was great when he opened with it in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunray782 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I always loved Manic Nirvana the Indian chant in the middle of Watching You is intense. That's my favorite album too, along with Dreamland. I believe the chant is in Arabic though. Intense no matter what the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj20030 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 well i ordered, now and zen, fate of nations and 66 to timbuktu to start out with, thanks all !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Good starting point. But eventually you will need to get them all for different reasons. Shaken and Stirred is my least fav. and the rest rise and fall on the list, depending on one's mood. His first solo disc is definately Zep flavored, Now and Zen is also but with a "poppy" edge to it. Anyway, even The Honeydrippers is worth it to round out the collection. Have fun Peace. ____________________ "Art changes people, people change the world." - John Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Sixty-Six to Timbuktu is Plant's greatest hits album. It's a two-disc set with both his hits and a rarities disc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixty_Six_to_Timbuktu I agree that this will be the best place to start, but my personal favourite is definitely Mighty ReArranger. He just took everything to another level with that one. It's absolute genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 hmmm...Mighty Rearranger or Fate of Nations, depending on my mood. Now & Zen is pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 This is hard. Robert put out a lot of good stuff. Mighty Rearranger, The Principle of Moments, Now and Zen are probably my favorites. Unless we're counting Raising Sand too then that ties with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
