Led Zep vocals always were difficult to me to accept .... In the other case The Who was much easier to get into. So i'll go for Daltrey. He's a marvellous singer and when he sings live seems like DP or LZ itself.

Daltrey beats Plant pretty easily when it comes to stage presence and consistency. I just saw The Who a few months ago and Daltrey's voice is still a powerhouse.

No contest. Daltrey hands down. He has more range and power in his voice. Plant is just plain annoying and overrated, sorta like the group he once fronted....

Although it's a difficult choice I have to say Robert Plant. Plant and Daltrey were/are two extraordinary stage personalities. I don't know if Plant would have been able to sing Quadrophenia, but I'm equally unsure considering Daltrey singing any Led Zeppelin-tune. They both were excellent in their heydays and both lost some of their abilities later on, but made up for it somehow. In the end it was Plant for me because he has the wider range and can sing softer, more pleading - which is what a hard rock shouter should be able to do now and then. Just listen to "Babe I'm gonna leave you" - that song has it all.

If you don't vote for Daltrey, you'll get a bunch of fives. It took a strong right hook to be the Who's front man.

he lost his high range by '73 but he made up for it with some great soul on Physical Graffiti, SRTS, and Presence. And his blues knowledge and artistry is second to none, up there with Janis and Joe Cocker

On a good night, Zeppelin delivered more music and magic than most of their contemporaries, and being an indispensible part of that is really where Plant takes the prize.

Well, Plant is the better artist, hands down. If you want to limit it to stage presence and vocal ability, Plant still wins because he's simply a more interesting person to watch and to listen to. Daltrey is a an excellent vocalist, and the Who music would be much less without his interpretation of Townsend's ideas. But his talent stops there (and that's a quite the talent to possess).
 
But Plant is the true warrior/artist. I really respect what he continues to do.

Robert GOD Plant. One of the best vocalist in history!!! He's in a superior level when it comes to vocals and stage prescence (BUT obviously behind Freddie).

I used to be a big fan of Led Zeppelin, and i still am. But when you put 25 years extended remastered version of "Live at Leeds" in your cd player, the answer is clear: Roger Daltrey.

Two different styles, personalities, and voices.
 
I can't choose readily. Since Plant is currently the underdog, I must go with him.
