Derek Schulman I have to say. His voice is lacking everything that makes an interesting singer; emotion, charm, drama...but I guess it suited the band well enough. Wink

From what I've looked at, I'm the only person to mention him, but he's got a low tone to his voice which sounds displeasing to me.

I mentioned him as well. While he's a great guitarist he just never struck me as a singer. He does what he can with what he's got, but 90% of the time it falls flat to these ears. One of the most horrifying things about this is the number of new prog bands that seem to have been inspired by his vocals (or maybe they're just as bad at singing as AndyLOL). 
Now if Camel had had a person like Arthur Brown doing the vocals oh lordy!!! They may even have hit it big!

There's nothing much to 'get' in Latimer's vocals. Beautiful baritone and very gentle delivery but almost completely devoid of expression. Now you can either go gaga over his tone or you just find his style boring. Seeing as Jon Anderson is so popular in prog circles, maybe a lot of progheads actually like vocals that lack expression as they help you focus only on the musicianship, lol.
