Sorry, None of the above. Roy Khan, Tom Englund, Oliver Phillips, Bob Catley, Joe Lynn Turner. I would have picked one of them. ------------- <i>Sports cars</i>, helping ugly men get sex since 1954. |

| I voted for Ian Anderson but I can't believe Greg Lake and (love him or loath him) Geddy Lee weren't options. |

| I chose Neal Morse, simply because of versatility. The young Wetton was my fav as a student. |

Bob Catley - my word; I'd almost forgotten about Magnum, one of my favorite bands in the '80's, ah the memories, 'Great Adventure', 'Soldier of the line'.... Thanks for the reminder -------------

What, is Geddy too high pitched for you to include in the poll??? Lacking him, I'd vote for LaBrae, the new Robert Plant |

| HEY GUYS;What about Tiny Tim, one of the great prog voices .Tiptoe through the Tulips was one of the great examples of Minimalist Prog .He was so far ahead of his time that we have completely missed the point!!! |

| Excusse me, but... where is Peter Hammill??? Don't forget him, the best voice IMO. |

I was going to as where Hammill was as well...while all the above are good choices, Hammill is too unique a treasure to overlook. ------------- "http://mywebpages.comcast.net/moorglade/index.html" - 'There's a fine line between stupid and...clever'

| I've voted for Ian Anderson, because I really love his raw, but subtle voice! I don't know why everybody is voting for LaBrie. He IS a good singer, but I don't think his voice has got anything special. |

| What about that guy, or was it a girl? from Pavlov's Dog. Was he Geddy Lee's long lost twin? Just kidding. Bill Bruford was actually on one of these albums. |

No Greg Lake or John Wetton tut tut

| John Wetton would be my choice, with Greg Lake in second place. I do like Adrien's singing in KC as well. |

Yes, yes. Where is Peter Hammill? The most sincere singer of all times. His voice - ia world of art and emotions. He deserve to be mention. I didn't vote for anyone. Only Gabriel and Andersons are good to me. But there a plenty of singers,that much better. ------------- Let music make your life a little sweeter - Kim Simmonds |

I agree with you ! But for me Peter Hammill is far more than a voice I would like to vote both for Peter Gabriel (a world of creativity, thks for the music of the world) and Jon Anderson (the angel who makes you feel lighter, thks for your works with Vangelis). I have pointed out that a lot of "Neo-Prog" singers mimic Peter Gabriel's voice (consciously or not), Fish first. In fact they mimic Fish copying Gabriel.( Don't agree ? Listen the voice of Fish singing more recently with Tony Banks : closer to Phil Collins than Gabriel ! "He chameleon" It's curious that nobody can realy mimic Jon Anderson ! kisses

Almost forgot the voice of rock - Glenn Hughes. He never played prog rock, but his singing is unique. I haven't heard a voice any stronger. And what aboat Roger Chapman? His works with great band FAMILY are very innovative and ineresting. Especially, his works on 1970 "A song for me". ------------- Let music make your life a little sweeter - Kim Simmonds |

| From the list, I went for Neal Morse. My favorite singer is Ian Gillan for the sheer power and range that he had and to a lesser degree, still has. I agree with Glenn Hughes as well. I lost touch with his music and only recently re-discovered him with his Songs In The Key Of Rock cd. Absolutly stunning pipes on the guy. |

Songs in the key of rock is a good example. Raw power and energy all over the record.Gasoline makes listener crazy. ------------- Let music make your life a little sweeter - Kim Simmonds |

Peter Gabriel from Genesis of course, but why oh why did you have to miss out on Brian Ferry and Robbie Plant?  ------------- 50 tonne angel falls to the earth... |

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

| I would have to say Jon Anderson ....what a voice..superb! the man is still as amazing as was in the good old days...a voice that time cant touch ...but the difficult thing is i love Fish nearly as much yikes but i settle with jon being numero uno but then ofcourse todd rundgren aint on your list hes my godd lol |

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. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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 |

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! |

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.

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?!? |
