Oh, his vocal is too gentle and weak! Why else would were his solo parts sung by Derek on live recordings?
 
Although Kerry's timbre and Madrigal-like style is just beautiful, creating the great counterbalance against Derek's sometimes even unpleasant shriek.

I'll vote for Garry Green he doesn't get enough love around here...

Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs

After few minutes of thinking, my choice would be Ray Shulman. I find him to be one of my favorite bassists, he is very creative and also cool.

Ray is very cool, so I voted for him.

They're a fantastic bunch, especially Derek, Ray and Kerry Minnear. Out of those, I'd say Kerry for his unique playing and great songwriting.

Indeed. Kerry Minnear may be my close second, and he is surely my favorite keyboardist ever (so far).
