After Led Zeppelin, it was vocalist Robert Plant who raised the fallen standard and carried it through the '80s and '90s. Surrounding himself with crackerjack backing bands, Plant was able to keep the vision alive to a large extent, borrowing elements of latter-day Zep (the exoticism of Physical Graffiti, the dreamy sound of In Through The Out Door) and dragging it successfully into the modern era. While Jimmy Page floundered and John Paul Jones faded, Plant took root in the market with well crafted albums and successful singles that sought to deliver Zep's epic creations on a more intimate scale. Although not a prolific artist (he usually resurfaces with something every few years), the quality of Plant's work is unimpeachable. The singer seems to regard his place in history from a safe distance, most often looking forward with his music but sometimes willing to look back (The Honeydrippers, Page and Plant). His music represents a different chapter than Led Zeppelin, but to date it's provided a surprise ending to a compelling tale.
