Peter Hammill. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Hammill is written with 2 "m"s, by the way. for those who hate his voice: think of his voice as how you would sound if your hams were grated by a mill, which would then of course be a "ham-mill" -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

if we go for women: where are Inga, Renate and Sonja? my vote would go to Inga, by the way; she has the most powerful voice of all

| Hammill, but the entire list comprises of fantastic singers. Hats off to Mikael Åkerfeldt, his contrast of brutal growls and clean vocals are unmatched. |

interestingly Inga and Dagmar were in the same band at the same time, "The City Preachers". Inga then first fronted Frumpy and later Atlantis, Dagmar went off to sing for Slapp Happy, Henry Cow and the Art Bears and later the Feminist Improvising Group, an all female band consisting of 5-8 members, among them Lindsay Cooper, Georgie Born and Maggie Nicols. the FIG also openly advocated lesbianism, by the way. one of their numbers was called "Dip Me in Chocolate and Throw Me to the Lesbians"

Jon Anderson--I like nice sounding male voices---that can soar and be beautiful---his voice isn't just high it has a a great full sound---like a fine oboe.  I mean I like others on the list but some I loath.

From the list - I'll go for Ian Anderson at his peak in the 70s and 80s he had a wonderfully expressive voice who could show wit, pathos, complexity and depth - and his little pauses between phrases or words were superb. Sadly, we all know his vocal troubles over the last decade or so, and it is sad when I've seen him live the last decade, as I've willed him to reach those notes and scan in time as he gulped to get the volume up etc. I've sweated more than in a gym session to mentally get through songs. However, at his best. He really was unstoppable! All the best Ian - but please make it up with Martin! It's just not right to hear Tull live these days without old Lancelot! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

I'd go with Greg Lake if he was here, but from this list I'd choose Mikael Akerfeldt, his clean vocals are absolutely wonderful. ------------- "All the iron turned to rust; All the proud men turned to dust And so all things, time will mend So this song will end" |

| Haven't heard much of Inga or Beefheart. From the rest, Mike Patton. Ok, I don't like even close to everything he has done but the stuff I do is enough to beat the poll competition imo. Now add Devin Townsend and it would have been impossible to decide. |

Odd list of singers...indeed....several big names with the rest being somewhat less known. No other option ..yet several people voted Gabriel.....go figure. And many big names missing from the list. From that list Anderson ...his early vocals were always solid and he could at least carry a tune unlike another big name up there. ;) ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Anyone who doesn't know Inga Rumpf has missed the most powerful female voice there is in prog. 'nuff said. She was very well known in Germany in the 70s, but her bands Frumpy and Atlantis never made it big outside of Germany. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

^I'm quite familiar with Inga Rumph and of course she's got powerful voice, but I'm not necessarily interested in those most powerful female-or male voices. Some of my actual favorites within the "prog sphere" are: Kira Vollman (Non Credo) Pascale Son (Cos) Celia Humphris (Trees) Kate Bush Roy Harper Richard Sinclair Robert Wyatt Demetrio Stratos (Area) Catherine Ribeiro - now that's the most powerful voice in music that actually appeals to me Damo Suzuki - not because he's a conventionally gifted singer I just like the tone of his voice. + Captain Beefheart & Peter Hammill -------------

Ian Anderson ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

I don't think Inga necessarily has the most POWERFUL female voice in prog, more like an unusually low voice. Not to say her voice isn't powerful by the way, of course it is.

Date Posted: June 25 2018 at 05:12
that her voice is so unusually low is one of the reasons why I love it because Friede's voice is unusually low for a woman as well; on the phone she is often mistaken for a man ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

OK, I'm making a new poll - but I'm not sure how to make it dumber than this one (thanks for the suggestions, anyway: I'm glad to see people on PA enjoy voting for polls with the same questions over and over a decade). |
