Absolutely all the above. Approve

Yep. Same for me .

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).

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



Have to say though that Plant was a more influential voice for rock, especially high singing in rock.

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. LOL

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.Headbanger

Daltry by a small margin. Both are legends in their own leather trousers.

A very good question. Can't choose now.

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.

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.

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 :))
