Wilson.

I don't see how anyone can knock PT. To me, they sound nearly flawless. Maybe some don't like the amount of production that goes into their music.

Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I am a fanboy of no-one (maybe Kevin Gilbert (R.I.P.) It's stupid to compare SW to MJK. What's the point? PT fans will say SW, Tool fans will say MJK. They are both good with their respective bands.

I prefer SW myself because I'm more familiar with his music. I have all of the Tool albums as well, but they just haven't grasped my ear like PT has. It's all personal taste, no-one is wrong, no-one is right.

Well I like Pt a bit more, but I believe that Maynard is the better singer. Even though I don't find either to be all that impressive. I know what people are talking about when they say the whispered vocals but to me they add more emotion to the song which is why I like Maynard better. MORE EMOTION. Period. Wilson does have better production and backing and harmonies and arrangements but no power in his voice.But in terms of a musical genius.....Wilson>>>>Maynard, by far.

Two great bands. But I prefer Steven Wilson's vocals above MJK's.

Tough call! I never thought MJK or SW have a very powerful voice. But MJK with TOOL and APC is pretty impressive and it works well, but when you look at his work on Puscifer I think it falls short. SW on the other hand is by far the better musician that is why his solo album is better then Maynard’s solo album.

I voted for MJK because the way he crafts his lyrics in TOOL.

Poisoned by Wilson's singing here...

and i'll wake the dead

^I'm going to take a guess and wager one of the other thousands of bands without either of those two as a signer.

Still like Maynard better though. :-)

Maynard :-)
