Although I really like Wilson´s voice, Keenan owns this poll

Maynard is one of the best vocalist of the past decade! Steven is great also, but he is a better producer and guitar player. Maynard's lyrics are outstanding!

They both have quite different styles of singing. I enjoy them both so it's going to be a tie for me and I'll enjoy them both equally. One doesn't really shine above the other.

I love both, but for me, Maynard has the edge. Incredibly haunting voice at times.

After seeing Tool live and A perfect Circle Maynards Voice is like nobody else. And i have seen Porcupine Tree too, Steven Wilson is great , but he is not even close to Maynard.

I had to go with Steven. His voice is beautiful, and at times, hauntingly so.

Neither are really that great singers, Wilson's glory comes from his arranging skills rather than his actual voice, which is fairly weak, and often quite flat. For instance in a few of his more passionate sections on the new album he really needs a stronger voice to pull them off.
Maynard is really not great of a singer either, but he's got lots of original approaches and can pull off some impressive stuff (one of the songs on Aenima I think has a 25 second or so scream in it, which I've only heard one person beat.) I'll give to Maynard because he's got better presence.

Both are a couple of my favorite singers, but there is no doubt in my mind that Maynard is better, especially for his work with A Perfect Circle.

I may be an undeniable PT fanboy but I voted Maynard on this one. Undoubtedly a vocalist with much better
range and emotion. I've always thought of Steve as a composer/guitarist first and singer second. Granted, I love
his voice but I think Keenan takes the win on this one for me. Wilson has yet to chill my spine with his vocals,
while Keenan has done it many times. That said, I do love Wilson! I'll take PT over Tool most days.

Steven Wilson vs. Maynard James Keenan
I would like to discuss how inferior Tool is to anything Steven Wilson has ever been involved with, but this about singing, not how Tool suck.
