You know I always hear that Plants vocals have been shot since IV. Thats true for their live performances I guess. But I really love his vocals on HOTH and PG.
Maybe studio magic helps.
I can certainly hear a change in his singing on Presence. His vocals do sound a bit strained on that one. But when you sing like Plant does, its kinda expected that your voice is gonna get strained over time. In his prime he was an awesome vocalist. I can appreciate that Gillian is better technically, but Deep Purple kinda bore me.

A little harsh putting Ozzy in there, the other guys have ranges and can sing, Ozzy is really not a talented vocalist, he just kind of wails. Should have at least had Dio competing in his place.

I am a huge fan of Black Sabbah and I love Ozzy's solo albums very much too - so Ozzy gets my vote for sure. (But I have to add that Ozzy is a horrible show man and it is extremely annoying that he screams "louder!!", "I can't heeeear you!!" and uses the word "f**k" ten times in each sentence when he introduces the next song. Listen to the studio albums and ignore his live output.)
However, Gillan is clearly a better singer from a technical perspective, and I like Deep Purple and Ian Gillan Band/Gillan very much too. Gillan is the best live singer.
I have never liked Led Zeppelin and I think they are one of the most overrated bands of all time!  Never liked Plants vocals. Sorry all Zeppelin fans, I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Gillian. Plant is also great, but he does sound a bit irritating sometimes, for my opinion.

 you said it newby, maybe you ain't aware of any solid Ozzy albums that you said is not talented, what about Diary of a madman, Bark at the moon or Ultimate sin to name a few, legendary albums with solid musicianship and great ideas and vocals for heavy metal period. I also like both Gillan and Plant, but Gillan is another kind of vocalist than Ozzy he is more bluesy to me, like Plant aswell. Strange, because i like Plant's voice i never quite enjoy Led Zeppelin, maybe only album i can listen from head to toe is Physical graffiti. So Ozzy is my vote no doubt one of the most recognizible voices in rock history.

Anyway, from the list I picked up Plant. But for me is esy how to explain why he should be the chosen one: while his band stopped after Bonzo's dead, the others have continued, with and without their most recognizable frontman.
It's a shame the way some people here disrespects Ozzy. Ozzy is more than a singer, he's one of the greatest artist of the XX century. But it seems that they evaluate Ozzy's value by "The Osbournes", what just show their degree of ignorance of rock'n'roll history. Dislikeness is one thing, another is to call a historic figure inside and outside music a moron. Sorry for the hard words.
