What’s Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant? This is kind of the opposite of “Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?” How can a band that has such a long history and great following tour under the same name when its composition has changed? Sure, the Doors did it, most indie rock bands do it now, but this is Zeppelin. Regardless of your level of adoration for the prolific rockers – I’d place my fanship at number seven on a scale of one to 10 – it’s got to be rather shocking that the great and almighty Zep could play without Plant. Granted, the band played its reunion show sans Bonham, but it’s not as though this could be helped. Still, what’s Plant’s deal? The rumor is that he’s the one calling the shots in this decision. So, would a Led Zeppelin with any other singer sound as sweet? You tell me.
