One and Only Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have a gift card that allows me purchase of 1 cd, which i've already decided to use on Robert Plant. I'm not sure about the new Plant/Krauss cd, but what other cd do you reccomend? Possibly even the Honeydrippers? or Page/Plant? I'm thinking about mighty rearranger or maniac nirvana.. but idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 They're all good. I like Now And Zen, The Principle of Moments, Raising Sand, and Mighty Rearranger are all good. I know that Mighty Rearranger is my dad's favorite. It just depends what kind of music you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 66 To Timbuktuu is a compilation if you want that sort of thing. Otherwise I'd say Fate of Nations or Mighty Rearranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anita1967 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Pictures of a Lemon, excuse me, At Eleven. Just for "Like I've Never Been Gone." One of my all time favorite songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIBLY Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 66 to timbuktu it is! It's a double CD so you might have tyo add some money to your voucher. If that's not an option I guess Mighty Rearranger is the closest to LZ. If you haven't got Unledded by P & P I'd recomend that one. The version of SIBLY on it, with the rising string section is sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Only one ? Then "Fate of Nations" it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBLY Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Actually, if you haven't got Mothership yet, it should be that. Spent 2 hours on the motorway today. Just Me, the road & Mothership hammering out as I hammered along. A throughly exhilarating experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppermint Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Fate of Nations. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Fate Of Nations is a masterpiece, and a must-have. Screw the rest until you get this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Now and Zen, Manic Nivirna and Mighty rerarranger are good ones, but all others are worth a listen to see where planty was musically thru the 80'/90's.. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've purchased ALL of Led Zeppelin (except for TSRTS.. waiting for new releases), and my neighbor put Mothership on my computer already. Looks like I need to buy more than one album...

kirchzep27 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 mighty rearranger With the plant/krauss and zeppelin releases, havent heard mighty rearranger in awhile, looking forward to listening to it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantfan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 All of RP's work is totally outstanding! If you want something heavy, then Manic Nirvana is a great choice; Doug Boyle's scorching guitar is just amazing. Fate of Nations had the most radio hits and is a truly great album replete with truly epic tracks-- a real classic. But honestly, just like the mighty Zep, RP has had only stellar albums and songs. If you want the most bang for your buck, get the Nine Lives Box set, which is all remastered with plenty of bonus tracks, an interesting booklet, and a DVD with a 66-minute interview plus 20 music videos, all for $100 or less. Or get Sixty-six to Timbuktu, which has samples of every album (except Pictures at Eleven) plus 17 wonderful songs found practically nowhere else! Yet another possibility is the Soundstage video from 2005-- also very enjoyable, which features reworked Zep classics along with songs from Mighty Rearranger.

Guan Yu Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 66 to timbuktu is an album i reccomend very much! there is alo rare pre-Zepp songs on it! While not a Plant solo album, I reccomend The Honeydrippers EP, the only problem with it is that it's an EP! It's great if you need some "rockin at midnight!

pop Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Personally I like his first couple of solo albums the best. I have to admit I lost interest after those ones so I may not be the best response here. I do feel his voice is certainly miles better on those albums......imho I really feel like he lost it by the nineties for the most part....

Agathon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Is the gift card 1CD or a certain dollar value? If the latter, you can probably pick up two of the earlier solo albums for the price of one. I have seen Pictures at Eleven and The Principle of Moments discounted before. He hasn't really released a bad album, but if I was to pick the one to buy first it would be Now & Zen. It's transitional between his early 80s anti-Zeppelin synth dominated sound and the later more rock and roll oriented material. As a bonus, Jimmy Page plays on a couple of the tracks. I bought it when it first came out, and I have never tired of it. All the songs are very strong, and "Dance on my own" is really funny once you work out what it's about.

albionremain Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I would certainly recommend 66 To Timbuktu. Road To the Sun is an outtake from Principle of Moments that's really great and should never been omitted from the album. Plus there's all kinds of old rare stuff, along with the best from his solo career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
