I'll get out what Area stuff I have and give it another run-through.

Hey don't worry if it isn't your cup of tea. I was just pulling your leg. AREA is what I'd call the epitome of acquired taste. I hope you dig it this time round though  |

Geddy Lee. Just can't listen to more than 1 Rush song at a time.

Geddy for me - probably the main reason I don't listen to more Rush than I do.

Geddy Lee from that list, but I don't dislike him particularly. I love Damo and Peter Hammill.

In a pig's eye. Mr. Lee has done some phenomenal work on such landmark Rush albums as 2112 and Hemispheres - work that clearly meets the standards of what good prog entails (and I'm not even a Rush fanatic).

I am very surprised that even Mr. Geddy Lee is in this acquired taste category. I think he is a goddam Canary, but hey that is just me.

I can take a lot of weird vocals but I am sorry to say that Damo put me off some of the early Can.

None of the ones listed, as in my view their vocals are perfectly suited to their respective bands' music. If I had to mention a singer I find particularly hard to get into, I'd go for Camel's Andy Latimer.

Is that the only reason? Surely there are others

Listening to Roger Wootton (Comus) sing reminds me of a quote by Charles Baudelaire regarding Wagner: "I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws."

I guess I'm in the minority on the following, but the singers I find the hardest to get into include Annie Haslam(far too pretty), Andy Latimer (sleepy granddad discovers a singing voice from beneath the sofa) and Steve Hogarth (too something I guess).
I never really got into these bands except for a few early Camel albums as well as Marillion (with Fish).

Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Not because of his actual voice, but because the production on his vocals post-Deloused. He can also get a bit ridiculous with the five syllable words. Crush the nebulons and chronotons in cephalopodic pteradons. He sings it like we're supposed to find it the most urgent thing ever.
