Not for the first time, but...
Saturday, 22 October 2005 23:13Has anyone else noticed the Seriously Worrying Similarities between 70s era Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey?
There was a Who video on and I thought, before hearing the sound, that the bloke on the stage was Lord Perce of Wolverhampton.
Seriously though, at the point when both of these men were at the very height of their powers, they looked like the other. The big blond hair, the bare chest (Buttons were a rarity in the 70s, apparently) and the tight blue jeans. Not to mention the wailing. Hell, if you listen to some Who songs, you can even hear Rog playing a harmonica, although not to the same competency as Robert.
Not to mention that both worked with quiet bassists and insane guitarists with questionable personal habits.
I'm worried. If I hadn't seen them do an almost Little And Large routine at the Albert Hall recently, I'd think them the same person. Which makes my current mood icon all the more amusing.
