Plant...naturally.
 
I don't really think Coverdale is a Plant clone,he just has a similar vocal style.
 
Plant inspired a whole generation of vocalists,so naturally he would have spawned some imitators.

Mr David Coverdale!!


Count mine too! As great as Plant was (and still is, in spite of his not being a spring chicken any more), I prefer deep voices to high-pitched ones as a rule, and Coverdale's voice in the Seventies and early Eighties was nothing short of unique. However, he managed to almost shoot it to hell when he started imitating Plant, first with the 'hair metal' version of Whitesnake, then with Coverdale-Page.

Plant is better.  He still sounds good today.  He is a powerhouse.

In my experience, I'd say Coverdale is the one that has been more constant than Plant when talking about live performances. In gigs, Plant doesn't fully develops with range, while Coverdale had always been able to deliver even improve on the range he applies on records (and even LZ covers). Plant, however, wins in creativity IMO, as andu said. For the record Coverdale started to imitate Plant as soon as he founded Whitesnake, while their timbres and tones are totally different. I found his pre-Whitesnake years a bit better, the latter years make him sound more like coming off a hair-metal factory (even though his live performances were horrible, check California Jam with DP to see this; more pleasant was Made In Europe)

Regarding strictly voice, I'd say you're right, Coverdale has an awesome voice which doesn't really sound like Plant's; it's just that Plant has set up the standards for the high-pitched hard/blues rock vocalists and one feels the urge to compare any other with him, which is not necessarily good. The Coverdale/Page album showed the differences pretty well, imo. Anyway I go with Plant in your poll.

Still the poll could be a "creativity" poll, and for me Plants would win it by miles, if so. Just think of his contribution to Zeppelin, "No Quarter" or "Walking into Clarksdale", and, from his solo works, "Principle of moments", "Pictures at Eleven", "Fate of Nations, "Dreamland", "Mighty Rearranger"... He has aged well as both a vocalist and a musician.
