"Ship of Fools" is a rock song performed by English rock singer Robert Plant. It was the second single released from his 1988 album Now and Zen, following "Heaven Knows". It reached number 76 on the UK singles chart, number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. It was Plant's tenth top-ten solo hit on the Mainstream Rock chart.[1][2]
The song was written by Plant and keyboardist Phil Johnstone, who also co-produced Now and Zen.[3][4] In an allmusic review of Now and Zen, reviewer Vik Iyengar singles "Ship of Fools" out for praise, calling the song a "lovely ballad" that demonstrates Plant's "vocal subtlety."[3]
