Pictures At Eleven (1982)
After listening to this several times, I could finally remember the songs that had the best hooky riffs: “Burning Down One Side” and “Fat Lip”. But I still had no idea what they were about, nor did I care.
Grade: C-
The Principle Of Moments (1983)
It’s pretty pop atmosphere in contrast to his previous album’s hardish rock hooks. But Plant isn’t the same without Page, and exactly one song on this album has more than atmospheric charm.
(“In The Mood”)
Grade: C
Shaken ‘N’ Stirred (1985)
The meaningless little ditty is “Little By Little”. That’s the “good” song.
Grade: D-
Now And Zen (1988)
Nothing worthwhile except the single, which is hooky and hilarious.
(“Tall Cool One”)
Grade: D
