Roger Daltrey v Robert Plant

both are ofc great 2 of the best singers in rock.. but i go with Daltry he was the orginal and yes i like hes voice beter. And the who is my favorite classic rock band. Some days ago i bough a new live dvd with em from 75 huston texas and woooow great stuff been watching it over and over again, best live band ever.

I ment he has that young big eye'd, hairless chest, squared jaw, college kid look, kinda innocent (I guess that's the punk part).

yes, he'd kick my ass

@ E-Dub: the Plant fascination is out of any possible real explanation, even for the fans. It just... happens. Anyway "The Song Remains The Same" is not really indicated for a good picture of Plant's ability, the screeching is there indeed and it annoys me (at the same that I love it... the Plant fascination, you know... ). Of course this applies to most of the singing from that show but NOT to Stairway to Heaven - by some magical reasons, that's just PERFECT. Anyway, I think you could like more the way Plant sings on the video I posted on my Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/blackmountainside ) - a fabulous band performance and a mature voice from Plant.

Coming back to the poll, I reckon something more - one should take into consideration the whole of their careers. And this is where the difference can really be seen, as Who and Zepp are such huge and influential bands. Plant comes with a great solo career, proving his creativity and singing on 9 (!) solo albums, more or less successful, and two Page-Plant albums. There is no real competition...

I couldn't possibly vote on this - i have been a huge fan of Plant and Daltrey for many years, both their groups were great friends going way back to the 60's. Moonie even came up with the name Led Zeppelin, that is  well documented.

Tough call, but I've got to vote for Daltrey. He's got a more versatile and expressive voice than Plant, although Percy is still the man when it comes to out and out rockers, and Daltrey is also an amazingly charismatic performer. Plus, if they had a fight he would beat the crap out of Plant any day of the week, and could probably take on all of Led Zeppelin single handed.
