Title: Robert Plant
Post by: major tom on January 06, 2008, 08:12:39 PM
(I've decided to make a fun and stupid thread)

So, what's up with Robert Plant?

(http://mog.com/pictures/wikipedia/100405/Plant1975.jpg)

Yeah yeah yeah, we all know him as the amazing singer of Led Zeppelin. But what's with him and, well, sex? In songs about sex like You Shook Me and Whole Lotta Love, he makes noises that sound like he's half singing, half intercourse ing-in-the-studio.

But then I was listening to Dazed And Confused and wondered, why does he have a need to make sexual noises in songs that aren't really about sex? Was he trying to sound sexy for the ladies, since he's really just a curly haired, red-headed Brit?

Discuss.

Didn't he make a new album recently with Alisson Krauss?

That's cock rock for you.

In case you didn't notice, he does it in sync with Page's guitar work. I'm not really sure what the point was, but it makes it sound like he gets off to Page's guitar.

I like his weird little noises. I think they add a bit of unintentional humor and character to their songs, and it shows that he wasn't some stuck-up asshat who took himself seriously. It would've been annoying if he did it in all of their songs or something, but he doesn't, so it doesn't bother me.

Also, listen to his solo work some time. It's not as good, but he's got some pretty cool, catchy tunes.

You spelled "Plant" wrong, I believe.

Yes. It's 'okay'. IMO, the louder the music, the better Plant sounds.

It's just 'meh'.
