"Pictures at Eleven" is the debut solo album from former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant. Genesis drummer Phil Collins played drums for six of the album's eight songs. Ex-Rainbow drummer Cozy Powell handled drums on "Slow Dancer" and "Like I've Never Been Gone".

"Pictures at Eleven" is the only one of Plant's solo albums to appear on Led Zeppelin's record label Swan Song. By the time of Plant's next release, 1983's "The Principle of Moments", Swan Song had ceased to function and Plant had started his own label titled "Es Paranza", which would also be distributed by Atlantic Records. Rhino Entertainment released a remastered edition of the album, with bonus tracks, on March 20, 2007.Most fans and critics consider this Plant's finest solo work.
