Usually, I prefer soft vocals, but to be honest, I prefer Lee's vocals in early Rush albums.

Yeah, that seems about right. While I can still listen to pre-Permanent Waves Geddy, it's probably more with a sense of nostalgia, of remembering when I first listened to those albums. I stopped listening right around Power Windows, and, probably like a number of people, didn't pick up anything until Snakes and Arrows. But even though I don't know as much of the post-Waves material, I think Geddy's voice on the later albums is a much better trained instrument.

You didn't give a space for Geddy Lee....silence. The best "singing" he does!

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. |

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

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

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...

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. |

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.

Funny you mention this, as when i first heard priests of the temple of syrinx i thought exactly the same thing about the similarity with plant

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. |

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

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

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