Led Zeppelin

Robbie Williams is "blasting Black Sabbath music" to torment his rock star neighbour Jimmy Page over their bitter home extension row, according to a complaint to their local council.

The Take That singer won a five-year battle when he was granted conditional approval last year to build a basement swimming pool at his London home.

Page fears excavation work will damage his 1875 Grade-I listed mansion.

Williams is also said to be imitating Page's former bandmate Robert Plant.

A letter to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea states that as well as playing Sabbath, the singer has been playing Pink Floyd and Deep Purple songs at high volume, as "he knows this upsets" the 75-year-old Led Zeppelin guitarist.

The two stars live next door to each other in Holland Park - Williams's home used to belong to film director and restaurant critic Michael Winner.

It is not publicly known who wrote the complaint, which is signed "Johnny".

The correspondent adds that Williams has also dressed up to imitate Plant by "wearing a long hair wig, and stuffing a pillow under his shirt in an attempt to mock or imitate Mr Robert Plant's beer belly that he has acquired in his older age".

This is "embarrassing", the letter continues, because "Mr Plant was remembered for performing with his shirt open on stage, and obviously he cannot perform in his current condition as it would be very embarrassing".

I can't believe Williams would be such a cock.
 
Now I hold LedZep as the best band to ever graced our planet. As a drummer I love the revolutionary sounds of John Bonham, and there is not one drummer I know who hasnt a Bonhamian sound.

But I’m putting my neck out. I like a few of Robbie’s numbers as well. Granted a majority are grindingly bad and fillers not worth putting out a b-side for. But I like te Swing When Youre Winning album full of jazz covers, I like Angels and She’s The One. But the other songs are just drillbits in the ears. Could have been sung by a better personality of course.

The original and best version.
 
I was staggered to find out they only ever released one song in UK charts. I think it was Whole lot of love and years after it was released in the US. 1997. Strange one that. Mind you, when you sold as many albums as they did then who needed singles . Led Zeppelin 2 was my fav.

That would make them a One-Hit Wonder, based on some of the daft logic of certain posters on the thread of same name.

Not daft, correct. They had 1 hit, if it got in the top 40, therefore a 1 hit wonder by the rules of the game.

It's not fucking hard.

Now if it was albums they wouldn't be on anyone's list. Or songs that should be singles but weren't. They would rock that. When the Levee Breaks.

I think that's silly. One Hit Wonders should be confined to bands with one massive single but from whom the outside world effectively never heard from again, not popular artists who were AOR-focused as opposed to singles-focused but only had one song chart.

Madness I know but the term 1 hit wonder is just that. 1 top 40 chart single. Never to be heard of again. Led who?
