1988-1992

Wildly influential British guitarist who made a splash with the Yardbirds and as a session player before founding Led Zeppelin. Unquestionably one of the all-time most influential, important, and versatile guitarists and songwriters in rock history is Jimmy Page. Just about every rock guitarist from the late '60s/early '70s to the present day has been influenced by Page's work with Led Zeppelin...

from Outrider 1988

Outrider is an album by Jimmy Page, released by Geffen Records on 19 June 1988. It is his first solo studio album (and his only one as of 2021) and the first time since 1969 he has recorded with a record label other than Atlantic Records/Swan Song Records. Page recorded the music at his personal studio The Sol...

Former Led Zeppelin vocalist whose successful solo career has found him covering a wide range of styles... 1982 solo debut, Pictures at Eleven, Plant pursued a feverishly adventurous solo career, embracing synthesizers and art rock that seemed to be the antithesis of Zeppelin's majestic hard rock, but he'd also later dabble in sampling and world music, while taking detours to reunite with Zep guitarist Jimmy Page for both a rockabilly lark and a folk-based revival of their catalog. 

Robert Plant 

Tall Cool One (Phil Johnstone / Robert Plant) 4:38

Ship of Fools (Phil Johnstone / Robert Plant) 5:00

Helen of Troy (John Cale / Phil Johnstone / Robert Plant) 5:10

from Now and Zen 1988

After years of trying to separate himself from his legendary status as Led Zeppelin's frontman, Robert Plant finally reconciles with his past on Now & Zen. He borrows a few Zeppelin riffs, and even enlists Jimmy Page to play guitar on his hit "Tall Cool One." This album is also notable in that it marks his first collaboration with keyboardist Phil Johnstone, who would continue to play and write with Plant on subsequent albums.... a must-own for fans of Led Zeppelin.

1983-1988

The mercurial music icon widely considered the original pop chameleon and figurehead for countless musical movements.

David Bowie 

Modern Love  (David Bowie) 4:48

Let's Dance  (David Bowie) 7:37

Cat People (Putting out Fire)  (David Bowie / Giorgio Moroder) 5:09

from Let’s Dance 1983 

After summing up his maverick tendencies on Scary Monsters, David Bowie aimed for the mainstream with Let's Dance. Hiring Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers as a co-producer, Bowie created a stylish, synthesized post-disco dance music that was equally informed by classic soul and the emerging new romantic subgenre of new wave, which was ironically heavily inspired by Bowie himself. 

Briefly active in the mid-'80s, vintage R&B-inspired supergroup featuring Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck.

The Honeydrippers 

Young Boy Blues (Doc Pomus / Phil Spector) 3:32

Rockin' at Midnight 5:59

Sea of Love (George Khoury) 3:03

from The Honeydrippers, Vol. 1 1984
...Plant always harbored deep, abiding love for early rock & roll, a fact that was often obscured by his restlessness, too, a side that he indulged on his first two post-Zep solo albums -- glistening, modern albums with a heavier debt to Robert Fripp than Little Richard. Two albums in, he switched tactics for the EP detour The Honeydrippers, Vol. 1, an unabashedly retro-rock project that hauled out five golden oldies from the pre-Beatles era and served them up authentically, or at least as authentic nostalgia... Some may find this kind of pastiche a bit distancing, even campy, but there's a genuine warmth in Plant's performance, and his ad-hoc group of Honeydrippers -- including Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in uncredited cameos -- have a great time running through these handful of oldies, particularly "Rockin' at Midnight."...

Enigmatic, prolific singer/songwriter and author known for his genre-defying work and contrary personality.

Julian Cope 

Reynard the Fox (Julian Cope) 6:16

O King of Chaos (Julian Cope) 2:36

from Fried 1984

In contrast to the crisp, clean sound of World, Fried often sounds rougher, a bit more shut in. Combine that with Cope's generally successful attempts to project an image of barely stable sanity, helped in large part by the notorious wearing-nothing-but-a-turtle-shell cover photos, and the idea of Fried as his album of crazed musical collapse understandably is a strong one. However, World producer Steve Lovell once again handles things here, along with playing guitar, while even more importantly, key Cope collaborator Donald Ross Skinner, a young musician from Cope's hometown, makes his debut. Kate St. John again contributes cor anglais throughout, adding a haunting atmosphere on many cuts. If anything, the album shows that Cope may be completely musical tripping out as he chooses but he knows exactly what he's doing throughout...
