Jon Anderson, Captain Beefheart, and since she is working with Robert Plant she must be prog, so I'll say Alison Kraus.

My ultimate prog vocalist has gotta be Gabriel.
I like Robert Wyatt's voice too, just not as much as I love Gabby's.

I guess Jeff could do prog if he wanted to. I thought Mojo Pin was prog-like, or is it only me?
Jeff and Tim Buckley: Two of the most beautiful voices ever.

I first heard this singer on Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports LP, then on his version of Elvis Costello's Shipbuilding. Working backwards, I discovered his solo albums and his work with Matching Mole and Soft Machine.
He is, of course, Robert Wyatt. I could happily listen to him sing the phone book.

I have always thought Caravan's vocals to be a bit on the weak side. IMO, that soft (deliberately feeble) singing style was the downfall of a number of otherwise fine bands: Cressida, Blonde on Blonde and Marsupilami are three that come to mind.

This is an area where I FOR SURE feel newer prog has its advantages. I mean- all the classic bands like YES, Genesis, and KIng Crimson- the vocals ARE the weakness.
