If we're talking singers in their prime, for me it's Greg Lake without a doubt. For me his prime ended with ELP's "Welcome Back My Friends ..." Since then he's sounded more like Perry Como imitating Greg Lake.
If we're talking about singers then and now, it's Peter Gabriel.
And just now, period, Steven Wilson.
If this list was more extensive, though, I'd have far different choices and a much harder time making them. (Annie Haslam? Richard Sinclair? Fish? Dave Cousins? and on and on.)

I voted Gabriel, just because I can't stand what Lake has become while Gabriel has maintained his integrity.  But back with King Crimson and in his early days with ELP (and also on Pete Sinfield's "Still") he was something to hear.

Mikael Akerfeldt. If his growls count, of course. And only until 2005.

Tough choice between Gilmour and Lake.

Ian Anderson (aprox. 73/74). Not many as great as Ian on APP and War Child, IMO. Perhaps, as you say, Alex, Greg Lake.

Peter Hammill.  He's one of the few singers that really makes me sit still and listen to what he's saying. His personality bleeds through on every track.
