Robert Plant demanded a London bar stopped playing Radiohead, branding it "rhyming c**p". The Led Zeppelin rocker dislikes the melancholy five-piece so much he asked staff at Camden's Fifty Five Bar to change the record because it was ruining his night.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Robert was drinking with a woman and didn't like the choice of tunes playing.

"Radiohead was on and he started complaining. He said, 'What's this rhyming c**p?'"

However, when staff put on the Red Hot Chili Peppers instead, the 59-year-old was still unimpressed.

The insider added: "The staff were obviously keen to please so they changed their music. They put on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who they thought might be more up his street. But he didn't like their stuff either and said it was like a 'nursery rhyme'.

"He then said he wanted to listen to Captain Beefheart, an American musician who was famous at a similar time to Zeppelin from the 60s to the early 80s."

Captain Beefheart, whose real name is Don Glen Vliet, was a musician and singer known for his surreal lyrics and harmonica skills.

He is best known for Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's 1969 LP 'Trout Mask Replica'.
