We all know that Howard Stern is a beg Zep fan but last night on a
Stump the boey sequence where they have to name the song and artist
there was one that was Robert Plant In the Mood. Howard made a comment
it was one of his favorite. So with or without Jimmy Many Zep heads 
still listen to Robert post zep whereas Jimmy hasnt done anything worthwhile.


That's a rather sweeping and nieve statement IMO. I love that song as well, 
and I also play "Big Log" on guitar, and happen to love that song, as well as 
many others of Plant's solo career as well as Page's solo career songs. How you 
come to the conclusion that Page hasn't done anything worthwhile, is yet 
again a sweeping statement, and is also in the ears of the listener. 

I might not LOVE or even like every Plant song, and quite frankly I can't 
stand him on alot of LIVE boots (zep era), but I have always liked his studio 
sound. I don't particularly like some of Page's solo stuff either, nor do I 
particularly like "Immigrant Song" (anyone who knows me very well, knows I 
cringe 
at this song, and will almost always skip it, yet I play it on guitar..lol)

One can't be expected to like EVERY SINGLE SONG A BAND PUTS OUT, SOLO or 
otherwise. That's preposterous. (again..IMO)

Page put out nothing worthwhile...what do you back this up with?!?!?! Again, 
it is in the tastes of the listner. (IMO)

Just my absolute unworthy .02 cents worth
