Many people will probably say "Oh well, another Led Zeppelin vs Who poll, is he going to do a Jimmy Page vs Pete Townshend Poll or a John Paul Jones vs John Entwisle Poll ?" But I had done this because they have many things in common. Both were sexually attractive  , both had blonde hair and both had many stage moves. But also, they have different voices. So who's the best. Robert (Baby baby bay-be) or Roger.------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

Robert Plant for sure. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

It's tough-- they're both magnificent and both lost a big part of their range later on; but because of Plant's historical mastery of American Blues phrasing and what he continues to do with his solo career, I give it to Planty. |

I love Zeppelin at least 3 times as much as I love the Who, but I've got to vote for Daltrey here, because he doesn't do Plant's annoying habit of scat-sing/moan/babybabying as much. And Daltrey pulled off some screams that have never been topped. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I vote Robert. They have really lots of things in common. They used to be good friends, LZ and Who, didn't they? The only thing I really love about Daltrey more than about Plant is his dancing :))

Roger Daltrey's voice is incredible. Who's Next might be my favorite album when it comes to vocals. Robert Plant's voice has a tendency to annoy me in its higher registers although he too has his fair share of great moments. |

Tough poll...but not a tough decision for me. Daltrey's early recordings are damn fine, you can really hear the young boy in his vocals...then all of a sudden we get Quadraphenia, Who's Next...and wow! The vocals explode, more mature, thoughtful, with power.
And also for me, I never had a problem following along with The Who's lyrics, not so much with Zeppelin. -------------

Honestly can't choose, so I'm going to vote for PLant because he has less votes, and I'm going to get to see him live in August. -------------

I think Planty's singing is my favorite thing about Led Zep, since Jimmy Page is the most overrated guitarist ever, John Paul Jones is a good musician but he's always at the back and Bonzo is too drunk.  ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

Plant has never, to my knowledge, sung with this fury, at this intensity. This song is to me a microcosm of rock music at its very best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDbAtWpoA6k&feature=related" rel="nofollow - Have to say though that Plant was a more influential voice for rock, especially high singing in rock. |

| Plant became more of an icon but in terms of singing style and voice I prefer Daltrey by far. Generally much more musical and mature, less womanish "baby-baby-babeeee ahh-ohhh-ahhh babe I'm coming" screamings, but when he had to scream he did it like few others (Love Reign O'r Me being certainly a good example). |

| Roger Daltrey's voice conquers all. Robert Plant couldn't match the raw lust of the vocals in Love Reign O'er Me. Daltrey have a more powerful voice, Plant has a fun voice. Though, I love more of Zeppelin's albums. |

| For me, Plant fronted the band with the better catalog, but Daltrey's voice and lyrics are far better. |

| Let's face it, neither are great musical singers, though both are great vocal leaders of the band. I personally prefer Daltrey, less histrionics and more to the point. |

Daltrey was unstoppable back in the day. He's lost a lot of his range now. But just listen to Quadrophenia and 'Love Reign O'er Me'. Plant also was magnificent in his prime. He's lost his range too. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

Daltrey is one of the greatest rock singers of all time. He is staggeringly good. Plant is a decent singer who sounded okay on Lep Zep 1 and never sounded that good again . ------------- http://www.heavymeta.net" rel="nofollow - Meta's Official Website |

I prefer Plant's voice but his insistence on sticking the phrase baby/baby/baby into most songs is a bit annoying. There are other terms of endearment he could go for, such as 'Sugar Plum', 'Fluff Muffin' or 'Sweetie' to name but three. Although I don't think Daltrey's voice is as good, he doesn't seem to overuse terms of endearment. I agree with the comment above - Daltrey would definitely win a fight with Plant. ------------- Haiku Writing a poem With seventeen syllables Is very diffic.... |

oufff very hard polls today! First Floyd Vs Jethro, and now this? They are great singers and they both left a very big heritage behind them. But there is a voice in my head that whispers "Plant, Plant, Plant". So I will follow the voice's advice. ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

| I vote for Daltrey voice-wise, but sometimes I feel like he had no idea what Townshend was trying to say in his songs, trying to make Pete's self-deprecation all macho sounding. Plant wrote his own lyrics so I never get that sense of disconnect. So, uh, a tie. |

The only way to solve that question is to have Plant sing some Who classics and Daltrey some Zep classics and see who sounds better. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |
