Plant
Ozzy
Gillian
 
I know Gillian is the best technically, but I'm not a big Deep Purple fan.

PLANT OBVIOUSLY!

Then Mr. Gillian.



Ozzy can sit at the bottom and learn from the other two.

Tuzvihar, do you plan to make a bigger signature? The current one is too small and hardly occupies only a half of a page. Wink

Gillan by a short distance over Plant

Ozzy is not really in the same class vocally (although he was a good front man in Sabbath)

I voted for Gillan, because I love his voice.

But Plant and Ozzy (can't call him 'vocalist' though) are more successfull and convincing in their solo careers.
 
Anyway all three are strong personalities, each in his own way.

As for a voice : Gillan ,no contest. In terms of a frontman Plant, no contest. In terms of comatose behaviour and slurred speech: Ozzy . Its that easy ! LOL

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'll take Ozzy. I always appreciated the way his singing made him sound like a drunk zombie. Rather that than a pair of constipated banshees ;P

Who currently produces most interesting solo works? - I think Plant. 
 
Who of all of them made the greatest solo album? - I think Ozzy, the worst singer. And the album is "Blizzard of Ozz". Clap

And another vote for Plant! But Gillan is awsome, I have to concede. Ozzy? Is Ozzy, isn't he?

You're missing a few-- what about Rod Evans, David Coverdale, and Ronnie James Dio?

Oh well.  Of the three listed, Gillan edges Plant by a hair in my book.  Plus he gets bonus points for having played the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar...

Then I'm voting for Dio. His lyrics might get a bit too cryptic for their own good at times, but at least they're clearly allegorical instead of attempts at impressing the "intellectuals" by making up some vaguely profound-sounding babble.
 
And, hey, this thread's about vocal performance rather than lyrics - right? Wink

Led Zep & Purple are my fave in the hard-rock genre and both frontmen are extremely good. I've seen Plant only once (early 75) and Gillan a lot of times (from early 73 through 2006). Both were exceptional in theIr heydays, and logically they can't reach their top form any longer (which is nothing but normal BTW).

Choice is very difficult but I voted Plant (and even if Ilike Sabbath, Ozzy can't really compete here).

Plant but Gillan is great too.
 
Ozzy......as much as I like a lot of the stuff he's done both with Sabbath and solo can't compete as a vocalist with these 2.

Plant without a doubt. Although I have no issues with the other two.

Ian Gillan hands down over Ozzy, but barely squeaks ahead of Mr. Plant.
If you want to hear Ians most amazing preformance check out Deep Purple Live In Concert 72/73.
Child In time on the 72 concert is simply mindblowing.
