Don't forget that Robert Plant had a solo career.

"Big Log" was the best Plant solo song and in my opinion, surpassed anything he did with Led Zeppelin. This track would almost certainly have been included on a proper Led Zeppelin album had Bonzo not died.

That's a good list! I started a business in the 70's and was less and less able to listen to music for the next couple of decades. so my fandom of Plant is mostly online live tapings of songs from the Zep era, with That's the Way Earl's Court '75 and The Battle of Evermore 1994 Live with the Egyptian Ensemble probably topping my list, although there are too many to mention.

Of course many versions of Stairway to Heaven, at the risk of sounding corny; but that will be a standard for the ages.

I do like Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down from the 2010 Band of Joy concert in Switzerland, and have also listened to many of his teamings with Alison Krause.

Plant and Krause are coming to my area for a concert in June. Wish I could afford it—tix "start" at $77 before tax.

Thanks for the ping!
