LONDON – Robert Plant received a royal honor from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on Friday, putting the former Led Zeppelin front man one notch above his old band mate Jimmy Page.

But, Plant joked he and Page would not be fighting over rank, even though Plant's new Commander of the British Empire is a higher honor than Page's Order of the British Empire.

"If we can remember each other's phone number at this time in life it's a miracle," he joked. "We're still good friends, we both enjoy a rather dark sense of humor that comes, I think, from being from rather the wrong side of the tracks for all those wild years."

Plant opted not to take part in a Led Zeppelin reunion tour last year, choosing instead to concentrate on his collaboration with American bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.

Also receiving the CBE on Friday was English actress Liz Smith, 87, who appeared on the British TV series "The Royle Family."

Holy crap.

A posthumous award should have been given to Steve Marriot as Robert Plant ripped off 'Whole Lotta Love' from him.

Plant has not aged well. Voice or otherwise.

[Dolemite!]

His voice messed up in the early 70s, his band ripped off others songs for more than half their catalouge easy and his solo career sucked donkey balls.

Whooohoohoohoo ooh yeah baby baby baby. Talent my ass.

[Dolemite!]

A little tribute I made to one of the few songs they wrote themselves.

He certainly looks like one of the oldest people in the British Empire.
I disagree regarding the value of his solo career. In particular, the album Principle of Moments is a classic.
