It's a shame Plant couldn't get Page to keep writing his solo music for him. because you're right, post zep Plant was really weak.

I also really like Chris Cornell. It was a cover of a Cornell Cover of Billy Jean that really won David Cook the competition last year IMO. Most people had never heard Cornell's cover version so thought the TOTALLY slick arragnement was Cook's, even though the little girly man host Ryan Seacrest announced it was a Cornell cover at the beginning.

Here's the Vid. Cook does a great job with it.



This was cook's other shining moment last year, his Rock/alt cover of Mariah Carey:



The Rock guys for the most part have done extremely well post idol.

STOMACH MONKEY: Never heard of Bonnet but i was a huuuuuuge Dio fan back in the 80s. That man made a few albums that flat out rocked. Last in Line is still one of my favorite metal anthems of all time.
Dickenson was also sensational, my first ever concert was Iron Maiden/Ozzy way back in the day and i still remember getting chills everytime bruce went to his high range.

That dude can flat out sing. I loooove old Iron maiden too. The storytelling and guitar work was just awesome, even besides the fantastic lead vocals. Definitely an all time great metal band.
