Историю наверное знают все, но.....
A few months after the breakup of Led Zeppelin, Plant commences a series of live gigs at a Stourbridge Wine Bar called "McCoys." He Played old R & B number with a band known as the Honeydrippers, and during August and September of 1981 begins working on his first solo album at Rockfield Studios. On June 28, 1982
Pictures at Eleven is released and debuts at number two on the charts in the U.K. The album includes his first singles "Burning Down One Side" and "Fat Lip." Burning Down One Side would also be his first music video. Other notable tracks on this album include "Worse Than Detroit," "Moonlight In Samosa," and "Like I've Never Been Gone." Later in the year Led Zeppelin released Coda In 1983 Plant releases his second album, The Principle of Moments
The single "Big Log" becomes a top 20 hit in U.S. and reaches number 11 in U.K. Other great tracks include the AOR hit "Other Arms," and "In The Mood." Starts his first solo tour on August 29, 1983 in Chicago, and would later tour in the U.K. and Australia. Gets together with a number of musicians and records old R & B tunes as the
Honeydrippers releasing Honeydrippers Volume 1
This album is incredible successful with the hit "Sea of Love" as the song charts at #3 in the US. Plant would then play with the Honeydrippers on the December 15th edition of Saturday Night Live which is hosted is Eddie Murphy. Plant records and released
Shaken and Stirred which was released in 1985. The album includes "Little By Little," "Sixes and Sevens," and "Pink And Black," while the rest of the album is a different sound that didn't work for a lot of listeners. As some people think material like "Too Loud" is a little far out. Robert tours to support this album and the Honeydripper album and does half the show with material from each group, he's actually quite successful with this. Right in the middle of the tour he joins JPJ, and Page at Live Aid on July 13, 1985 and sings a few Zeppelin classics after a weak album sales for Shaken and Stirred Plant disbands his touring and recording band. In early 1987 sings one song, "The Only One," that would appear on Jimmy Page's 1988 Outrider album. Plant picks up a new band and starts recording a new album and has Page play on two tracks. Plays a few concerts in December and performs Zeppelin songs for the first time. Releases
Now and Zen which is extremely successful because of songs like "Tall Cool One," "Heaven Knows," and "Ship Of Fools." "Tall Cool One" contained Zeppelin samples that Page wasn't too thrilled with at the time. This album revived Plant's solo career as he performed to over 1 million people in the U.S. He later did one Coke commercial which he now regrets. Also during 1988 during the Atlantic 40th Anniversary, Plant performs he solo set with his band. Later on that evening he reunites with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, with Jason Bonham at the drums for a Zeppelin set. The performance wasn't perfect, and Plant didn't want to sing
Stairway (he did), but it was a contrast in performance than how good the rehearsals were. At the end of the year he performed on MTV New Years Eve party in 1988. Performing 'Heaven Knows,' 'Tall Cool One,' and 'Ship of Fools.' As a follow-up Plant released Manic Nirvana in 1990. This album contained some samples as well, and had a great sound that isn't captured on any other Plant album. Highlights include "S S S And Q," "Tie Dye On The Highway," and "Nirvana." Plant would receive the Knebworth Silver Clef
award and performs with Jimmy Page for a few Zeppelin songs on June 30th. Later in 1990 the Led Zeppelin box set is released. There are two versions the Four CD-US version or the 3CD-UK version. Released
Fate Of Nations in 1993 which includes "Calling To You," "29 Palms," as well as lighter material like Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter," and "Great Spirit." Plant would perform on David Letterman and Jay Leno , and have a special appearing on PBS
in the U.S. (an edited version later aired on VH-1). Later in 1993 the second Led Zeppelin box set was released containing material not on the first US box set, and the complete studio recordings were released in one set.
After touring with his solo band in 1994 Plant reunited with Jimmy Page and worked on the Unledded "No Quarter" project. A special aired on MTV followed by a release of CD and home video version of
No Quarter. Most of the material was rehashed Zeppelin material with a new flavor, although they did cover some of the lesser known Zep tunes, like "Friends" and "That's The Way," the album did include the epic "Kashmir." Plus three new songs (four if you count the UK album) including "Yallah" and "Wonderful One." Early in 1995 Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And although they did forget John Paul Jones phone number, the three members with Jason Bonham and Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith played a Zeppelin set that night. Page/Plant would also jam with Neil Young.
A month later Page and Plant would begin a world tour on February 26th in Pensacola Florida. They performed mostly Zeppelin material with one Plant song, "Calling To You," one Page song, "Shake My Tree," and one song from second guitarist Porl Thompson from the Cure, "Lullaby." Porl Thompson left after the end of the second US tour as Page and Plant would later tour Japan and Australia, and playing 'Tea For One,' and 'Ten Years Gone' in Japan. In 1997 the Led Zeppelin BBC sessions would
be released containing songs that a lot of people owned on bootleg but this time would great quality and on CD After what seemed forever Page/Plant release Walking Into Clarkdale the album includes "Shining In The Light" "When The World Was Young," and "Most High." They did another world tour to support their gold album. The album though didn't sell as well as previous Plant albums which may have prevented the duo from recording again.
In late 1999 Plant started playing very low key gigs in the UK and it's possible he will tour this summer. Page has done some work with the Black Crowes and will have a live album out with them in the spring of 2000. In 2000 Plant formed the Priory of Brion. The band featured Kevin Gammond, Paul Timothy, Paul Wetton, and Andy Edwards. The material consisted of forgotten classics like Bummer In The Summer, Darkness Darkness, Early In The Morning, White Rabbit, Seven and Seven Is..., and more. Later in 2000 Plant broke up the Priory of Brion then formed a new band called Strange Sensation and played some dates in Europe. In May 2001 Plant took toured for the first time in the United States since 1997 playing a variety of material from the Priory of Brion, but no solo material and a small amount of Zeppelin material. After a short tour Plant and his band played a few more shows and then headed into the studio in the later part of the year. In April of 2002 it was announced that Plant would release his first solo album since Fate of Nations in July. That album at one time was though to be called Head First, but would up being Dreamland. The album was released in July of 2002 to great reviews and Plant did a tour of the US while opening for the Who before playing a few shows on his own. Plant would tour throughout the rest of 2002.
Early in 2003 a lot of talk about a Led Zeppelin reunion which were just rumors. However Led Zeppelin fans were rewarded with the release of the 3 CD set of live music called How The West Was Won and a 2 Disc DVD that covered the band's career. Both have sold extremely well with the DVD breaking records. The three remaining members appeared together on television and premieres of the DVD and have seem to put the differences between them.
Later in November of 2003, Robert released a two disc compilation called Sixty Six To Timbuktu that covered his solo career outside of Led Zeppelin.
Это, так вкратце..
Вот, собственно его альбомы все хороши, но особенно стоит отметить Pictures At Eleven (С Филиппком Коллинзом на ударных), Principle...., Now & Zen (Шедевр, йопт) , а также Fate Of Nations......
Хотя каждый альбом-это маленький шедевр, ведь у Планта потенциал о-г-о-г-о......

Но, в общем-то, Стингу грех жаловаться на свой голос - он у него очень характерный и сразу же узнаваемый. К тому же его проблема, на мой взгляд, не столько в пробивании дороги в мейнстрим как таковой, а в девальвации музыкальных идей - все эти заигрывания с этникой, хип-хопом и электроникой выглядят именно попытками скрыть "пустоту внутри", как пел один наш рок-герой, это когда сказать нечего, а говорить надо.
