I think this is the hundredth poll about vocalists that I've seen on this forum... No matter, I'll have my say all the same. For me the most English voice in the list (and also the best) is Greg Lake's (though unfortunately I didn't have the chance to drop to my knees in front of him... ). I also like Peter Gabriel quite a lot, and many others from the list - but, as I've already said in many other threads, my top vocalist is Glenn Hughes, the Voice of Rock himself!
Talking of what.... Has any of you ever heard Mr Hughes sing Knife Edge on ELP's tribute album? When I first heard him he made my hair stand on end!

Jon Anderson the voice of God followed by Peter Hammill the wrath of God followed by Peter Gabriel.Then perhaps Greg Lake the rest play second fiddle to this lot.

Well, my favourite singer isn't on the list ...so . It's Richard Sinclair. It took me quiet soem time to realize that my favourite Canterbury tunes were written and sung by him. (Caravan, Hatfield) or just sung (Camel). As a bonus my own Fab Ten.
1.Richard Sinclair (Caravan, Hatfield, Camel) 2.Greg Lake (ELP, Crimson)3.Peter Gabriel(Genesis)4.Demetrio Stratos (Area)5.Franzesco di Giacomo (Banco)6.Annie Haslam (Rennaissance)7.Robert Wyatt (Soft Machine, Matching Mole)8.Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)9.IOn Anderson (Yes)10. Peter Hammill (VDG)

Vaya! Esa es ciertamente una revelación que no esperaba leer por aquí! Al final, el misterio que rodea lo inexplicable de las cosas, es lo que realmente importa y no las habilidades hinstriónicas! jaja 
Un abrazo,

Hay algo en su infortunio vocal que me encanta de sobremanera! Es como recalcar el asunto con Mariela! Suena espectacular en sus discos, pero ambos sabemos la verdad de las cosas  (Por cierto, Dalys es hermosa al fin y al cabo! eso lo compensa todo )
Saludos!

He would have had to climb over Boz Burrell to get to me.

Regarding Paul Rodgers... I've actually met him a few times and he is quite a nice fellow. He's a bit flakey.. but thats probably just the fact that he's basically a loner personality in a position where he's always surrounded by people. (He tends to disappear a lot and not tell anyone where he's going).. which isn't all that bad until he's about an hour late for soundcheck...

Sorry, threefates- Paul Rodgers is ok to listen to (decent blues-rock voice, I admit) but every time I see him I feel an unreasoning animosity...maybe he's really the nicest guy in the world but he LOOKS like a total ba***rd. KILL KILL KILL ARGHH 
*whew* I think my head just spun completely around. Anyone got any Holy Water handy?

hmmmm.....Back to priviledged voices however.....
I'm a little disappointed in all you Floyd fans who haven't voted for David. Next to Greg.. I guess I appreciated his voice more than others. Maybe cause I preferred not to hear Roger scream.. .I mean sing...
My other favorite singing voice isn't in prog... I always loved to hear Paul Rodgers sing. I wasn't really a fan of Bad Company... but I did like his time with Free.. and then The Firm. But he does sing with a lot of expression.
Also what about Justin Hayward?
