I don't hate you. Just disagree.

I like both, but I prefer later Geddy, for the reasons exposed by some of you: more mature, deeper, more diverse. And still he reaches most of the highest notes of those years when he need to do it , so...

I kind of flip back and forth with this. As of right now I prefer his earlier vocal style, mostly because it's worse. It's not pretty, it's very abrasive, often unpleasant. I enjoy it very much.

Early Geddy can get pretty annoying, but I love his voice on later Rush albums.

I enjoy his vocals on earlier Rush songs, but not as much as Permanent Waves and later releases.

Earlier, no doubt. His singing on 2112, Fly By Night and Caress of Steel it's all top-notch.

Burke Shelley is also often regarded as a young Geddy, he also plays bass, has long hair and uses glasses: |

Absolutely. It shocked me when he first opened his mouth. I'm also flabbergasted that the song is actually really good!
You've turned me onto another band today, my friend. |

The similarity between Geddy's voice and Plant's is such a common issue that I'm surprised there would be anyone left not knowing. The metaphor "Plant on helium" is often used to describe this similarity, I've seen it in PA reviews on early Rush albums.

That's great! They're here in ProgArchives under Prog Related. If you're looking where to start, either Squawk or Never Turn Your Back on a Friend are superb. |

I like both, but if had to pick it would be later Geddy. His vocals on Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are some of his best performances. Red Barchetta! That's all I have to say...

I'm more a fan of the earlier stuff than the later stuff.

This is tough, but I'd say Geddy's vocals have gotten better with time.

I didn't know that BUDGIE singer looked like that I have "Never Turn Your Back On A Friend" and it's very,very good.
I do like Geddy's earlier vocals.I miss when he used to just lets it rip. How long could he keep that up though.That has to be a vocal cord killer. |
