Ian Gillan!

I love the other two singers, but when you look at the history of Ian Gillan and more importantly his showbiz history. Not just a singer of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath (For a bit) and solo "WHAT?" said I, "No party?","NO PARTY?!!" "LET ME OUUUUTT!"

You'll see he's the more technical of the three singers listed.

Plant or Gillan.

Can't decide. Both are great frontmen.

All are great, but Daltrey is my obvious favourite.

Gillan over the other two. I mean, have you heard any of them lately?

Daltrey, although listening him try to sing these days is painful.

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Lately? Are you mean these days, when they are already around 70?

I thought it was understood that this poll is not about them as the wheelchair-rockers

All of them were undoubtedly great in their heydays, and I voted for Daltrey who was like an archetype of "Rock god" back in the day...

Daltrey for me, simply brilliant.

Having said that, When A Blind Man Cries is one of rock's most sublime performances.

Plant with Daltrey a close second.

Oh, I don't know. It should be between Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey... I know Led Zeppelin better, and have more songs by them that I really love, than The Who... and Plant is a superb singer as well. Yet as far as singing goes, Roger Daltrey really shines too (well, also Ian Gillan, but I like the other to better).

Plant wasn't just a great rock vocalist, he is an expert of all things Blue in a way no other English rocker was. Sure Joe Cocker may've been more authentic, but Plant understood Blues history; he is an archivist in black American vocal musics, and uses that mastery in his songs. You don't get that from Daltrey or Gillan.
