And apart from me, too. People often don't understand how I can be a Robert Plant Fan and not really be a fan of Led Zeppelin. I appreciate their iconic status and they certainly have a fine body of work, but (obviously) Robert's solo material is my favorite.
I don't think I could really pinpoint a "favorite" among all his albums. One great thing about what Robert does is that he never does the same thing twice. So each album has merit on its own. Right now, today, Raising Sand is on the playlist. Tomorrow it might be Fate of Nations or Mighty Rearranger.
If anyone is looking to get a good overview of Robert's solo career I highly recommend getting the Nine Lives Boxed Set. It has all of the solo albums up to Raising Sand, plus a fantastic DVD that includes an hour long documentary. The documentary has Robert talking about his career and the choices he's made, along with guests like Ahmet Ertegun, Phil Collins, Tori Amos, Lenny Kravitz and more.
