Plant vs Daltrey

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).

Roger Daltrey's voice conquers all. Robert Plant couldn't match the raw lust of the vocals in Love Reign O'er Me. Daltrey have a more powerful voice, Plant has a fun voice. Though, I love more of Zeppelin's albums.

Let's face it, neither are great musical singers, though both are great vocal leaders of the band. I personally prefer Daltrey, less histrionics and more to the point.

Daltrey is one of the greatest rock singers of all time. He is staggeringly good. Plant is a decent singer who sounded okay on Lep Zep 1 and never sounded that good again . 

I prefer Plant's voice but his insistence on sticking the phrase baby/baby/baby into most songs is a bit annoying.  There are other terms of endearment he could go for, such as 'Sugar Plum', 'Fluff Muffin' or 'Sweetie' to name but three.

I vote for Daltrey voice-wise, but sometimes I feel like he had no idea what Townshend was trying to say in his songs, trying to make Pete's self-deprecation all macho sounding.  Plant wrote his own lyrics so I never get that sense of disconnect.   So, uh, a tie.
