| Robert Plant Named As ‘Greatest Voice In Rock’ - So Rejoin Led Zeppelin Already! Posted: 05 Jan 2009 07:18 AM PST  Robert Plant is/was the blueprint for every rock singer that has come since. His style of singing while with Led Zeppelin has inspired generations of vocalists. So it’s fitting that Plant has topped a poll to find the ‘Greatest Voice In Rock’. The survey was undertaken by Planet Rock and the top 20 list has some fine vocalists on it. Plant beat Freddie Mercury to the top spot, although I’m sure some people would have liked to have seen the Queen front man at number one. I personally wouldn’t have had Bono, Jon Bon Jovi, or Peter Gabriel in the list. But that’s just because I’m not a fan of any of them. The only notable omissions from the list that I can think of are Liam Gallagher, although maybe Oasis aren’t considered rock, and Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. The full list courtesy of NME:- 1. Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) So, with Plant topping the list, it makes it even more bizarre to reason why he isn’t reuniting with the rest of his Led Zeppelin band mates. This proves there is no-one better to lead the Led Zep resurgence than Plant himself but he just won’t do it. A quick scan of the list also shows me a lack of people who could fill Plant’s shoes in Led Zeppelin. The singers are all either dead or wrong for the job. Which means that some no-mark we’ve likely never heard of will be drafted in. Sad days indeed.
