Sinefield wrote those lyrics. And Pete's lyrics are great, they're full of metaphor, symbolism, and English humor (which isn't all that funny  ).

It's difficult but Peter Gabriel is really one of my favorite singers of all time. I still really appreciate Greg Lake's vocals.

Not a clue who to vote for even with the narrow parometers of voice only.
Lake has one of the best 'English voices'. Nice clear and you can actually understand what he sings. He brings gravitas to lyrics that would sound daft if anyone else sung them.
Gabriel is much more soulfull though as evidenced by Solsbury Hill (possibly my all time favourite song) and Biko among other things.
If you add other things:
Gabriel is a better song writer no question
Lake was in his day (1970 -1977) an excellent guitarist ,much underrated imo. Brain Salad Surgery contains his best lead guitar work on KE9 Ist Impression.
Both great frontmen in their own ways as well if very different. Lake in the white suit and cool as you like (talking along time ago). Gabriel totally theatrical in approach ,hiding perhaps a certain introvertedness in those weird costumes when in Genesis.
No vote.

Voted for Lake. He is a good singer with a clear voice, although Gabriel's voice is more characteristic and has become archetypical for prog singers.

Yeah!!! Too late dude. People really need to be more careful in their title and question when launching a poll. It's not like there wasn't room to title this Greg Lake vs Peter Gabriel - Vocals.

Greg Lake is far more talented, though Gabriel is a very good singer and actor

Lake is very close to how I think a voice should be

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Purely talking about the sound of the voice, I like Lake's better. His voice and John Wetton's are my favorite voices in prog.
Still, I voted for PG, because he does very different things with his voice. For instance: "Broadway Melody Of 1974" on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

It's usually referred to as "Melt", Al.Vocally, I think Gabriel is more evocative, with a far greater depth.
