Roger daltrey v Robert plant?

[MarcoL]

this is not a the who v led zeppelin contest. just want to know who you think is the better singer

 

[WorldFamousNeffer]

Love them both; I would have to give Plant an edge for emotional content (see "Since I've Been Loving You" for an absolutely stunning vocal experience).
Daltrey is in an unusual position in that his best work was essentially that of a cover artist, as he was interpreting demo recordings made by Pete Townshend & submitted to The Who as a whole - his decline is related directly to that of Townshend and The Who - his solo work was never up to Who standards. In his heyday, though, his voice was powerful enough to strip the chrome off a trailer hitch at 30 paces, so there's an edge there.

Don't know about who's technically better but I prefer Daltrey's voice

It's hard to say because their styles were so different. Both fit perfectly with what their bands were playing.

 

[AtSlAbraxas]

They are both brilliant, but I think that Daltrey could have sung equally as brilliantly with any Band, whereas Plant was just nailed on for LZ.

So, Daltrey, by the proverbial whisker.

 

[BolidemCopylandlPastorm]

Were I to just consider the work each did with the groups I would give a slight edge to Daltrey, but looking at their entire life work I have to go with Plant.

Plant. By a long shot. Daltry was never, ever really that good to start with.

 

[badcompany]

For a singer, Robert Plant, but he is a d*uche sometimes

 

[JasmineLundee]

Plant. By a long shot. Daltry was never, ever really that good to start with.

 

[Colm]

I like them both

 

[Keith]

Daltrey has lost his voice and Plant still has his. So as of right now Plant.

 

[CarrieS]

I love what Plant can do with his voice!
