[MonsieurFish]

i dont want to seem like such a led zeppelin fanboy....... but once again i think this is the best pick out there at the moment.

therefore: As MonsieurFish's 2nd round draft pick, I am proud to select, Led Zeppelin's lead vocalist: Robert Plant

Robert Anthony Plant (born August 20, 1948, West Bromwich, West Midlands, England), is an English rock singer and songwriter, famous for his membership in the English rock band Led Zeppelin as the lead vocalist, as well as for his successful solo career.

Robert Plant's voice and singing technique was very unusual compared to other rock lead singers of the era such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and others, and these traits helped to define the unique sound of Led Zeppelin. One of his biggest influences was Steve Marriott of Small Faces and Humble Pie. Plant once said he wanted to "be Steve Marriott" when he was younger.
Plant possesses a tenor voice and his vocal style has been showcased in many Led Zeppelin songs such as "Communication Breakdown", "Dazed and Confused","Since I've Been Loving You" and "Whole Lotta Love". Plant became one of the most significant rock singers of the 1970s (and of all time), influencing the style of many of his contemporaries like Steven Tyler, Ann Wilson, Freddie Mercury, Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, David Coverdale, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Geddy Lee, David Lee Roth and Robin Zander, and later rock vocalists such as Jeff Buckley, Axl Rose, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Chris Robinson.
