Today is #ThrowBackThursday and Robert Plant’s 72nd birthday. Needless to say Plant was the lead singer of one of the most influential rock band of all time, with a forth album (that's right, the one with Led Zeppelin's classic Stairway To Heaven on it) selling over 37 million of copies worldwide.

On our little online gallery we’ve put together photos from our archives including shots from the No Quarter era with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page posing happy in front of the camera, but we couldn’t not include pics of their gigs, especially the ones an exceptional Cathal Dawson took for Hot Press of the English rockers.
