Absolutely 100% right! Glenn Hughes RULES!!! He's probably my all-time favourite vocalist. Just listen to his vocals on the latest Iommi solo album, Fused: he's just plain awesome!

BTW, I voted for Peter Gabriel for the sheer emotion of his voice... But where the heck is GREG LAKE?!?

This list is a joke Anderson,Gabriel,Fish,Ian Anderson to a lesser extent.(These guys are great singers) this is a list of junior league vocalists with the exclusion of possibly the greatest voice in music that of the great Peter Hammill;Baldfriede hit the nail on the head how the frick can you make a list up without the best voices on it.Hammill's voice galvanic one moment witrh enough power and aggression to rip ceilings apart, the next as gentle as a sheperd with a lamb.He is my second fave Jon Anderson holds that position(and before 3 fates comes in)where the hell is Greg Lake on the list???????????????? Back to Jon anderson the clearest purest perfect voice in rock that can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up at those precious moments on certain Yes songs.The great Gabriel is 3rd the chameleon vocalist with such diversity and originality.Fish is too a very good singer but not quite as good as my 1 st three they truly are the God vocalists but this list totally impoverished as they are not on it. You might as well have Donald Duck on it he used to sing as well.

Voted Gabriel from that selection.

The list is missing some key singers: Greg Lake, Peter Hammill, Phil Collins & Justin Hayward.

Although I'm not a big Moddys fan, I think Justin Hayward has a wonderful voice.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

1. Greg Lake

2. John Wetton

3. Phil Collins

4. Peter Hammill

5. Jim Capaldi

None were on the list, so Fish got an extra vote

Peter Hammill and no-one else. He has the most versatile voice of all and can express the full range of feelings wonderfully. Many only have the shrieking and aggressive Hammill in mind when they think of his voice, but he can be the exact opposite too. He really uses his voice as an instrument. What's more: He demonstrated what can be done with a voice and certainly was a major influence for many other singers. One may not like his style, but leaving him out in a poll for best voice because of this is simply ridiculous.

  1. Ian Anderson (love his voice, they fit the lyrics perfectly, I'll take his idea of humor over Zappa's  anyday)

Some Others:

  • Peter Gabriel (definition of emotion, without sounding like a parody like Peter Hammill)
  • Greg Lake (especially with KC, amazing)
  • Derek Shulman is great as well
  • Pye Hastings

Some I hate:

  • Peter Hammill
  • Geddy Lee
  • James LaBrie
  • Fish

So glad to see Fish on that list.  Probably my favorite voice of all time.

P.S. - I love Greg Lake too!  Where is he?
The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I just want to quote Robert Fripp on voices: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the voice".

Even though I really like Jon Anderson's voice, I vote for Peter Gabriel because he is more versitale.
