Jugband_Blues Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 This is sort of relating to a recent post on "best male vocals." well a friend and i have been debating recently who has a better voice, Roger Daltrey, (of the Who), or Robert Plant, (of Led Zeppelin). All we've decided thus far is that Daltrey has more range but there's something about Plant's voice that makes you want to listen to Led Zep. What do you think?
cosmosis Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Robert Plant is one of the best in my book, not only for his unique voice, but because he uses it as an instrument. Lots of singers have a lesson or two they should learn from him.
MindCrime Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I'd go with Plant, because I'm a biased Zep fanboy, but Daltry was a pretty good singer, just not as superior as Plant IMO. In fact I can't think of any other singer that's as first-rate as Plant.
Jenny Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I voted for Plant because even though I'm not a big Zeppelin fan, I like his voice. I liked "Tall Cool One" from one of his solo albums and the stuff he did with the Honeydrippers. To me, Daltrey can sound a little whiny (ducking to avoid the blows from Who fans)
Aunt_Acid Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Robert Plant is one of the best in my book, not only for his unique voice, but because he uses it as an instrument. Lots of singers have a lesson or two they should learn from him. Magnificently put.
MarcM Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I like the sound of Rodger Daltrey's voice over Robert Plant's. They both still sound great today, though.

I've got my kitbag, my heavy boots, I'm running in the rain, gonna run till my feet are raw. Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, I'm a soldier at thirteen. Slip kid, slip kid, realization, there's no easy way to be free. No easy way to be free. It's a hard, hard world."
_Annabelle_ Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 My vote goes for Daltrey too. Though both of their voices fit superbly within the sound of their respective groups, I prefer Daltrey's overall. It has a certain strength and stability that I enjoy in a male's voice.
