Even though Robert Plant performs a few of Led Zeppelin 's old songs at his solo concerts, the singer recently told Mojo why he won't sing many of the band's biggest "hits."

"What were the hits?" he asked the magazine in a new interview. "How can they be related to now? Where do they fit? They fit as a sort of memoir.

"When people say that I don’t like 'Stairway to Heaven,' I just don't like the idea of it," he continued. "These iconic things – they're just what they are. But you know, most people have missed some of the best Zeppelin stuff. 'For Your Life' on Presence . 'Achilles Last Stand'! Fucking hell. Just extraordinary that three people and a singer can do that."
