They might my friend. Still, Plant is an overpaid rock singer whose done nothing of any value since Presence 32 years ago. He hardly has any basis to criticize Radiohead. I mean, of course he has the right to diss anyone like everybody else does. It's just ironic that he would put down a talented band when he released things like "shaken and stirred" or whatever the title was. Plant is about as lucky as they come, having been handed a gift career from Pagey. And hey, I like Zep man!! Just saying!!

LOL, cant say i blame him, i also hated radiohead, but recently i grew a lot of respect for what they do, and it takes a lot of guts for a Brand like radiohead to release an album for practially no profit online these days. but the Chilis please theyre outdated by at least a decade, not to say bloodsugarsexmagik wasnt one of the greatest albums ever but theyre really really commercial now and ive lost much, much respect for them with kiedis's childish rock star tantrums.

Practically no profit? I bet Radiohead made as much off of this one as any of their other albums, maybe more.

He has his right to his opinion like you said, and people who speak their minds are always welcome. And of course with such brilliant album names like The Bends, Kid A, Com Lag, and the like, who could deny that RadioHead is in fact brilliant, based on that. Whenever I hear one of their albums you have to pinch me. So I'll wake up. Oh, and when Page picked Plant to front his "new" band, he could have had his pick of just about any singer, and he chose Plant. So either Page can't pick them, or he saw something you've missed... I'll go with Page.

I think he picked fine for what he needed. Just saying Plant's talents are woefully overblown to be dissing other talented musicians....baby baby baby baby baby....i gotta big, big, big....egoooooo......

RP has confirmed what I always thought but was afraid to admit to myself...I always hoped that RH and RHCP were a glimmer of hope for quality music. Even as I liked those bands in the early 90's, I just don't crave them anymore. Led Zeppelin, on the other hand, still sounds as good now as they did when I first heard them.
The funny part is, when Flea or Thom Yorke utter a comment about a band while drinking, it doesn't earn a press release.

I don't play either band much anymore either, though I still think BSSM is a pretty damn good album. And I think some of Frusciante's solo stuff is good. Has anyone heard his "DC" EP? Always thought those 4 songs were pretty amazing and emotional. I was fanatic Zep head years ago. Now I can only play the first one, Physical, and Presence for pleasure. The other stuff just hasn't held up as well for me, even as good as it is. And this re-union is killing my waning interest in them for sure. I always hoped they would keep their word...as did several of my friends who are already wincing at the thought of the hype.

name one band with even similar status

You're right. Cept more like the Stones of the modern era. Zep managed 12 years, the Peppers have been going for what, about 25 years? They're chasing the Stones!

Not a big fan of either RH or RHCP....but to hear utter crap, slap on Manic Nirvana or Now and Zen.

^ Ship of Fools is great though. Besides, Plant made his best albums recently (Dreamland and Mighty Rearranger). HCP, on the other hand, have stripped their songs of any lushness they had on By the Way to the skeleton, half-finished blow-ff tracks on Stadium Arcadium. Such a bad turn.

Agree 100% that Plant has finally woken up over the past decade....think it began with Fate of Nations (not a classic by a long shot, but this points the way to the sound he's developed since - more folky, rootsy, and a bit of world music tossed in the mix). I really dig Dreamland....wish more people had heard it. I also really dug his Priory of Brian side project....used to turn Donovan and Tim Buckley into great jams.
But, man, everything before Nations, to me, can be dismissed....even the first two or three solo records. Yeah, there's great stuff all over the three, but there's also some cringeworthy stuff as well. Just uneven albums as a whole....c'mon, I'm in the Mood compared to Darkness, Darkness (from Dreamland) - he's come a long way to find his own sound.
