I've heard (read) several people criticise him for copying both Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury in style and musically amongst others. Daltrey came before both. If he has any similarity to the two (pre-1969 anyway), then it's those two who have been influenced by him. For the record, I don't see any similarities between him and Mercury. Neither musically or visually and stylistically.

Anyway, favourite Who songs? 5 if your too big a fan just to pick one.
