Poll question: DALTREY or PLANT: Who had *that* look first?
These are some of Daltrey around the "Isle of Wight" period in 1970. Given the length of his hair, he had to have been rocking those locks since '69.





Or

Here's Roberto from roughly the same period.







So my question is: Who had the look first? I mean, they both rocked the Anglo Jesus look in the early 1970s. I give the edge to Daltrey, and add that he also had the decency to cut that fucking mop off of his head before he got into his 50s. Robert, it's starting to look stringy.

6. Now, I KNOW you are trolling! Don't even pretend you are not
cuz although Townsend wrote some great songs for the WHo, there is NO FRIGGIN WAY Daltrey compares to PLant in the singing dept! You must be joking! C'mon, tell me you are joking.....

8. I take into consideration Rog's size
The man was a goddamn leprechaun. And to be that small with those pipes says something.

10. no way. Daltrey had more depth, range, and stamina
listen to Tommy, Quadrophenia, hell, listen to Who's Next and Face Dances... He's better, more polished.

I don't troll, ever.

4. Yup. Here's a few.
I only chose DALTREY and PLANT 'cuz they just sang and both looked like an Aryan Christ. Bolan had a different look. And "Bang A Gong" rocks.

5. I voted for Daltrey
It might have been Plant, but if it was, it would mark the full extent of originality in his career.

14. I had crushes on both of them but
Roberto Planto had the best voice and the best satin pants and he filled them out better than Daltry - who was also pretty sexy - but didn't measure up to Plant. I saw them both live and Plant was the better performer. IMHO.:evilgrin:
