Plant has had a successful and innovative solo career no doubt about it but I still think he's currently on the outside looking in. He will always be remembered rightly so as the voice of Led Zeppelin which has already got him inducted. Kudos to Plant for not resting on his laurels and going on to make some very intersting, poignant records, especially Principle of Moments, Now and Zen, Raising Sand, Band of Joy snd Mighty Rearranger. Although I don't currently think his body of work warrants induction as a solo artist, several more albums like these may very well change my mind as well as those of the powers that make this decision.

Out of this long list of artists, ROBERT PLANT stood out. I scanned over the list and his name I slammed on the brakes. Because of this: Out of all the recordds and cd's for over 40+years of listening to them constantly,Robert Plant's albums are the ones I listen to the most often and religiously over these years, more than any others. His music as a solo artist is so unique and is so entertaining, especially "Pictures At Eleven"album. The music is so awesome by itself that I still can't sing along after years and years of enjoyment. His songs NEVER get "old" and whether I am going through taste changes(like favoring country, rock, or a different era of music from time to time, Robert P's is a staple for me. He is an exceptional artist!

Robert Plant Solo probably deserves consideration for his work RRHOF. Fate Of Nations great songs on there: If I Was A Carpenter, 29 Palms, etc. He also had standout work with Allison Krause. I also enjoyed the No Quarter CD. Plant has reached that "Legend" status that few in life and music reach. Rod Stewart & Paul Simon are 2x RRHOF but Robert Plant could join them soon. KING

He SHOULD at least get consideration (as should Zevon), but I'm not feeling it with him...

Let's say it was Robert Plant vs. Quarterflash or Robert Plant vs. Survivor for 1 of the last ballot spots. Robert Plant vs. The Pixies or Robert Plant vs. Supertramp. My guess Robert Plant (Solo) would defeat most head to head opponents for 1 of the last ballot spots. Here's an exciting pre-RRHOF Nominee reveal exercise? Would you pick Robert Plant's solo work over? 1. Joe Cocker 2. Duran Duran 3. Chaka Khan 4. Collective Soul 5. New York Dolls 6. The Cure 7. Pixies 8. Sting 9. Blink-182 10.Dinosaur Jr. 11. Depeche Mode. KING

Much of my favorite work of his is after 2000 so maybe as more time passes and he keeps having pretty great albums like Carry Fire and Ceaseless roar then he will get in.

I think he's certainly deserving compared to some who have made it. If those who have made it represent the "bar" so to speak.

I also think that the diversity and range of sounds throughout uis career while making an effort to not sound like zeppelin is inpressive

Robert Plant was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Led Zeppelin. I might have only heard a few songs he did outside of Led Zeppelin.
