I voted for Plant, but this really is the hardest poll I've ever seen. Although Daltrey is a better frontman(according to stage presence - and there's no denying that), he still lack Plant's amazing range. For me, it's Plant.

Someone stated here, that Page was overrated. Well, I don't really agree. For me, as a guitarist, Page has always been never-ending source of inspiration. Man, he has the style that is so unique. There are many overrated guy yes - likes of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen...and yeaah, then the suckers like Slash or Kirk Hammet, put Page deserves our respect.

I am hopefully going to see Robert & the Strange Sensation playing at the Live Earth event in 8th of July here in Bucharest, so we can combine our feedback! Smile


 
I didn't vote because pear and oranges don't compare.
 
 
Fred: Actually Plant's voice has never neen better IMHO. The last two Strange Sensation are marvellous. Daltrey's voice seems a bit rusty in the last Who album.
 
However time has not beeb kind physically to the "Golden God" , while Daltrey looks much youger than he is.
 
 


So I've been to the Plant concert and he was superb - and the most surprising thing (even for me) was that his voice is still as good as it was in the late 70s! He took all the high notes just like he always did, it were the low notes he kinda avoided, while I would have expected the exact opposite...
Here are some samples (phone camera videos):

Babe I'm Gonna Leave - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDrN9s7mIbU

Fantastic music, great band, Robert Plant, what a night!

yes I've noticed this too, andu, he seems to actually be getting better... even when I saw him for 'Now and Zen' he was sounding better than he had on his first three albums.

I think the secret of his long lasting career is that he knows what to do with the available resources. I also reckon the essence of his late "maturity" does not lie necessarily in his voice, but in something rather undefinable - possibly a mix of voice evolution, personal charisma & wisdom, attitude, restless artistic creativity... I say this as he was singing better in the early 70s; 1972 seems to me to have been his best year ever, as proven by "How The West Was Won".

The European Robert Plant / Strange Sensation tour is in full pace now: there will be 12 more concerts until the last one on August 18, starting today with the Belgrade concert. People, do not miss this!

On paper Daltrey is the better stage performer, he certainly was flashier. However, Plant had this inescapable allure about him. He did much less on stage to keep you interested, but he didn't seem to have to do anything and your eyes were still fixated.

Vocally I feel Plant is far superior. The only album which I would call Daltrey vocals amazing is Quadrophenia, but Plant has 6 albums about which I'd say that.

I voted Plant.

Daltry, I say. Both have thier strenghts, but I find that when I compare a Zep and Who song, I'll almost always prefer the Who's vocals.

I love both, although Daltrey wins because I've seen him live.

Daltrey for me, the only words I could decipher Plant singing were "baby" and "woman".

I'm going with Daltrey because he's ahead in the poll ... and I like to back a winner! Wink

 
Not really, I'm going for Daltrey because I really enjoy his work with the 'oo. Daltrey is dynamite.
 
Plant has been good of recent, though. Mighty Rearranger is good album, as is Dreamland ... I really get into the take on "Hey Joe" from Dreamland.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.
