Robert Plant & Led Zeppelin

Robert Plant's voice and singing technique were very unusual compared to other rock lead singers of the era such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and others, and these traits helped to define the unique sound of Led Zeppelin and ultimately the heavy metal vocal style. Plant is a tenor and his powerful, high-pitched, wailing vocals are famously showcased in many Led Zeppelin songs such as "Communication Breakdown", "Dazed and Confused","Over the Hills and Far Away" and "Whole Lotta Love". His singing method is characterised by a slightly higher than average male voice and an aggressive, rough timbre.
