No big deal here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, Plant or no Plant.
By the way, Led Zep is crap.Wink

^ But that's like saying that you have to be in an active band or be a musician to have opinions about music.

Genesis did go down the drain when Collins turned it into a pop band, but Plant is hardly justified in soley blaming Genesis for the state of popular music. As for RHCP, I have not liked anything from them whatsoever. I don't think RH are particularly remarkable, but nonetheless an alright band. Some artists throughout their career consistently put out great, innovative fresh music, like Steve Vai or Frank Zappa. Plant has done nothing remarkable since since Led Zeppelin effectively ended in 1980. I wont even bother buying any of his solo albums. The fact an artist that has not done anything remarkable in 27 years (IMHO anyway), to me means he probably shouldn't be out there really critising anyone else.

I'm wondering what kind of state the music press is in! The NME quoting The Sun? Shocked They can't be taken seriously, IMHO. A tabloid and one of the worst! Dead And on the other hand: If it really was Plant, even he was pi**ed up to the eyeballs, he's entitled to his own opinion like everybody else. So if for him Radiohead is crap, so be it. Same goes for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. And aren't people discussing Genesis on the very pages of PA all the time? How they went down the drain after Phil Collins made a pop band out of them?

It just keeps getting better and better.  Eight clappies for Plant! LOL

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Guys...this is Robert Plant......a Living Legend.
 
As far as I'm concerned Robert has earned the right to criticize other acts.
 
But I'm a Zep freak so I might be kinda biased.Embarrassed

Personally, I think that there are a lot of similarities between the sound of Genesis and the sound of Led Zeppelin, whether it's the use of mellotron, or odd time signatures, or grandiose gestures. I lost a lot of respect for him when I heard that, and this comment doesn't help.

Just saw this now, bit of gossip from NME
I always find it interesting what people like and don´t like, so I thought I would post it
 
Robert Plant calls Radiohead crap
Robert Plant labelled Radiohead “crap” while out drinking in north London at the weekend, according to The Sun’s Buzarre column.

According to the paper, Plant was drinking with a woman and demanded that the music playing in the pub was changed.

Apparently Plant described Radiohead as “rhyming crap”, and also rubbished Red Hot Chili Peppers (whose music he likened to a nursery rhyme) before settling on Captain Beefheart.
