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.

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

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

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.

On this list Ian Anderson but...

Where's Dagmar?

A personal favorite is Bob Calvert (yes I know it's a minority choice)

I think if I had to choose right now, I'd have to go with

PETER NICHOLS of IQ.

Even though NEO Prog is not my favourite prog genre, although i do absolutely love it, I feel
Nichols is should get my vote. Master lyricist as well. I adored his voice on THE SEVENTH HOUSE album and SUBTERRANEA. I don't think their is too much better for me at this point, vocally and lyrically speaking.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I like Al Stewart's voice a lot - clear & melancholic loikes.
But he is not prog.
 
I like CALM Argentinian vocalists - like Spinetta Jade's.
 
Well then for pwog  it would have to be Lee.
No, make that Lees.
 
No, make that Justin Hayward.

If I could vote I'd choose Maynard James Keenan. A lot of the classic prog bands have just not very good singers. However, Casey Creszenso from The Dear Hunter  is easily the best prog singer I've ever heard, one of the best singers I've ever heard period.
