I think his voice has gotten better.  He's had a few struggles with illness recently but when he's healthy, he's still phenomenal.  Even though he can't sing as high as he used to, he's become a technically better singer (raising the soft pallate, singing with a full voice, using the facial muscles properly) to make his voice richer and fuller, while still maintaining his unique style and vocal quality.  And come on, a fifty-nine year old man singing an F5 in chest voice and actually sounding good?  I wouldn't call that "decline" at all.

A kindred spirit!
Geddy Lee's vocals are phenomenal, imo.  I know they get on some people's nerves but one has to admire the emotion he's able to put into his performances, as well as his ability to sing insanely high while still retaining tonal quality.  I think his vocals are even better now than they've ever been; he can't sing quite as high but his singing is so full and meaty.  Just listen to the version of "Freewill" on Snakes and Arrows live: he hits the note on the bridge in full chest voice; not falsetto, not from the throat: right from the gut.  That's an F5.  I know sopranos who think that's high in their range.

Also, thumbs up for managing to put all three members of Rush in your fantasy band.Clap

Vocals/Guitar- Roine Stolt
Guitar- Steve Howe
Keyboards- Keith Emerson
Bass- Geddy Lee
Drums- Neil Peart

I think that Steve and Roine in the same band would honestly be absolutely amazing, even if there are better singers.

Guitar-Robert Fripp - yeah you have to sing.

Keyboards-Keith Emerson he could probably handle bass so make him sing.

Vocals-Peter Gabriel yeah, no vocal or flute for you dude, ok bass. Tongue

 
LOLClap
I would pay so much to see this live.
Though in all seriousness, Peart + Fripp from progistoomainstream's original post would be an interesting combination.

Wait...I thought Emerson made you laugh.  Didn't you start a thread about how he had no restraint at all?
 
Not once did I ever say it was a bad thing.

I was gonna do a list with my favorite musicians, but since almost all of them are a part of the canterbury scene it felt kinda pointless. I mean... everyone has played with everyone by now, eh?

LOL I liked the Momkees before I got into prog.  I got Head on DVD which has a Frank Zappa cameo.
LOL

I am contemplating a lineup where everyone who doesn't play percussion has to play percussion and match them up with drummers who don't play anything non percussion.
