It wouldn't be Anderson without Squire.

Anderson has one of the most beautiful voices in music with an amazing range. 

Why would this not be considered a legitimate poll? They had more than one singer right? And since not everyone seems to like JA's voice I think it's a fair question/poll.

well this is ProgArchives man! Anything and everything is a potential question.  Besides it beats yet another TexasKing Rush thread...

Squire... to these ears was simply a better singer..

In this case, you've got three singers who sound close to Anderson (Horn, David, Davison), two of which were specifically chosen due to said similarity (David, Davison). As for Steve Howe, I think it says a lot that he stopped performing lead vocals on his solo albums after the first one. Not to mention the fact that Anderson sang lead vocals on all the band's best known, commercially successful and most highly rated material.

In short, I don't see the point of the poll, since Anderson is sure to win.






Which is why I am voting for Billy Sherwood. Tongue



You would think that but so far it's a tie between those who have a vote.  I could agree with you but I  don't want to influence the poll. Smile

Also, I did not start the PF singers poll. That was someone else. Wink

I hope you are only voting for Billy because you truly think he was the best singer in the band. ;) Don't worry about the outcome it will take care of itself.

Without Anderson in the list I'd choose Squire for his Fish Out Of Water. I really like his voice on Silently Falling

Inspired by the Pink Floyd vocalist thread and poll I thought I would start one for Yes. Which vocalist do you prefer? Yes, I realize Steve Howe and Chris Squire did mostly backing vocals but I thought I would include them anyway.
