keefriffhard4lifetyler and rodgers are from the same era as daltrey and jagger and plant but you are right the rest of the guys wer are naming are a decade younger than these guysQuote

Most of the frontmen you're all naming are from a later rock generation, with the exception of Daltrey, who is a good pal of RP's, so I'm sure he wasn't dissing him. And he wasn't saying who was better than who, just who was still an active frontman from that era.

Led Zeppelin? Didn't they steal their songs from other artists?

Nice point, tkl7. Not giving songwriting credit to people they supposedly admired was record company executive-worthy sleaze.
Suspect Page was behind that bit of business.

Robert Plant is no longer a front man. He forfeits that role by being a solo artist. He no longer fronts a band.

Never seen this before. Interview with posh Jimmy Page while still member of Carter Lewis and the Southerners.

Robert Plant has dismissed the bonus material included with Led Zeppelin’s remaster series as “nothing relevant.”

He's not the only one with mixed emotions about the bonuses/boni. They're a complete shame. Page is pulling our leg and stealign our money.

I think he fears a Led Zeppelin reunion because he knows he can't pull it off anymore.

Jimmy needs something to do where he can play live...
How about a Firm reunion...If Paul Rogers cam break away from what he's doing for a while....as for Chris Slade and Tony Franklin, I'm sure they would be chomping on the bit for something like this.

Plant is right. It took me 5 years from the show to realize it, but he everything he has said is correct. Put Zeppelin to rest, and he's not grumpy. He's realistic and doesn't understand why others don't get it.
And now that I see his point, I don't get why others don't either. There's nothing new on these Zep CDs. I don't care about alternate takes either. Its not Plant's fault that Page hasn't moved on from Zeppelin in 30 years. Page unnecessarily puts it on Plant to be a dick, but Page is a child. And I love Jimmy Page. But move the @#$%& on.

He is too old to be playing these games of "I'm moving on" and so forth.

All I'm saying is that if John Bonham had had one less mouthful of whatever it was he was drinking that night in 1980, there likely wouldn't have been a Robert Plant solo career at all, certainly not before 1990 and likely not before 2000 either.
As a solo artist (not including collaborative albums with Page and Krauss), his last U.S. gold record was over 20 years ago--and the same goes for the UK and Canada. His three principal markets just don't buy him as a solo artist and haven't in decades.
I'm sure he doesn't need an accountant to remind him that even in 2014 he earns more in royalties from Led Zeppelin than he ever will from all his solo and collaborative albums combined.
He doesn't want to be reminded of his past, yet no doubt he has no problem with banking on it.

so who cares how long ago his last gold album was. he was a gold-platinum selling artist with his projects until the late 90's. and then had one again when he teamed with krauss. you can actually say rejoining page in the 90's is what derailed his solo career
