He was named “Greatest Metal Vocalist of All-Time” in 2006 by Hit Parader magazine.

In 1968, Plant joined Led Zeppelin as lead singer. The Led Zeppelin lyrics of Plant's were often spiritual, philosophical and mystical and referred to Norse and classical mythology events. J.R.R.

In 1982 he released “Pictures at Eleven” and in 1983 “The Principle of Moments.” In 1984 Plant, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page formed an all-star short lived group called The Honeydrippers. From 1994 to 1998 Page and Plant performed together and in 1994 released the album “Unledded” and in 1998 released “Walking into Clarksdale.”
