In reviewing Live Aid in 2005, one critic wrote, "Those who compile lists of Great Rock Frontmen and award the top spots to Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, etc. all are guilty of a terrible oversight.

In 2012, Lilly was cast as the MirkwoodelfTauriel in Peter Jackson's three-part adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's '' The Hobbit''.
The character, which does not appear in the original book by Tolkien, was created by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh as the head of the Elven guard who wields a bow and two daggers as weapons.
Lilly has stated that the idea for the book first came to her when she was 14 years old and the foreword of the book was written by director Peter Jackson.

New Zealand film director, screenwriter and producer
The project was made with "the full co-operation" of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the last two living Beatles, as well as John Lennon and George Harrison's widows Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.
George Harrison
In 1988, Harrison formed the Traveling Wilburys with Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty.
Roy Orbison
Music critic Ken Emerson writes that the "apocalyptic romanticism" in Orbison's music was well-crafted for the films in which his songs appeared in the 1980s because the music was "so over-the-top that dreams become delusions, and self-pity paranoia", striking "a post-modern nerve". Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant favored American R&B music as a youth, but beyond the black musicians, he named Elvis and Orbison especially as foreshadowing the emotions he would experience: "The poignancy of the combination of lyric and voice was stunning.

Canadian actress (born 1979)
This received negative feedback from some including her ''Ant-Man'' co-star David Dastmalchian and fellow Marvel actor Simu Liu.
David Dastmalchian
American actor
He has received acclaim for lead roles in Tennessee Williams's '' The Glass Menagerie'' and Sam Shepard's ''Buried Child'' at Chicago's Shattered Globe Theatre.
Sam Shepard
Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell wrote the song "Coyote", from her eighth studio album '' Hejira'', about her affair with Shepard during Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour of 1975.
Joni Mitchell
Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" was said to be written about Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's infatuation with Mitchell, a claim that seems to be borne out by the fact that, in live performances, Plant often says "Joni" after the line "To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings".
Jason Sudeikis
American actor and comedian (born 1975)
He starred as David Clark, a drug dealer, in '' We're the Millers'' (2013), alongside Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter.
Emma Roberts
American actress
Roberts next appeared in the 2012 film '' Celeste and Jesse Forever'', parodying pop stars such as Kesha with her performance as Riley Banks, an incurious blonde singer.
Kesha
American singer and songwriter
Cooper told ''Billboard'', "I immediately looked at her and went, 'This girl is not a pop diva. She's a rock singer.' She would much rather be the female Robert Plant than the next Britney Spears." '' The A.V. Club'' said that ''Warrior'' proved Kesha a capable vocalist and songwriter. '' The Washington Post'' said that the album is "pure fun", opining that Kesha can write good hooks despite her sometimes vapid lyricism.
