Hammill. It's close between him and Gabriel, and I'm a lot more familiar with Gabriel's work. But Hammill is just so good...
I like all of these, actually (at least the ones I've heard). My faves are the two mentioned above, along with Geddy, Cedric, and Joann Hogg (not listed here but deserves to be).
Also, where's Annie Haslam?

I'm glad Peter Hamill is winning this one, he's just such a special vocalist. However, I must vote Jon Anderson... I just love his voice. From this list, I also like Greg Lake a lot, and David Gilmour, of course. Not on the list, I can think of Annie Haslam, Francesco Di Giancomo, and Jimmy Spitalleri.

Ian Anderson in his heyday, followed by Peter Gabriel.

Ok thats it. I'm gonna buy GoldBluff tomorrow. I gotta hear him on that album. I hear the track ARROW is so full of emotion.

Akerfeldt for me.
Not from the list would be Mariusz Duda.

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.

But to fair to the poll suggestions I will go with James LaBrie. AWAKE is still his best vocal performance with Dream Theater in my opinion and one of the very best of all time in prog.
Actually, James rocked so hard on AWAKE that he busted one of his vocal chords!

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.

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.

On this list Ian Anderson but...
Where's Dagmar?
A personal favorite is Bob Calvert (yes I know it's a minority choice)
