Little by Little - Robert Plant

Robert Plant's first three solo albums [Pictures at Eleven(1982), The Principle of Moments(1983), and Shaken 'n' Stirred (1985)] were masterpieces of atmospheric rock. They fused beautifully his strong vocals, Robbie Blunt's masterful lead guitars, mostly midtempo rhythms, and just enough hookage to get played on mainstream radio. He wasn't rehashing Zeppelin; he was exploring his own territory.

Shaken 'n' Stirred is probably the least appreciated of these albums but it has some great tracks. Here's the one that got the most airplay, "Little by Little":
