I personally love Jon Anderson. I know some people disagree, but I really like his lyrics too.

Well said.
It's polls like these that always cause a ruckus. Geddy Lee, Walter? Seriously?  Geddy's awesome.
Out of the options however, I vote Mustaine. Never really liked his voice.

Took me awhile to appreciate Jon Anderson's voice.

I think most JA bashers really object to his lyrics.

I don't consider myself a Jon Anderson basher, bashing implies to attack somebody normally without reason or because bigotry, but to express an opinion is not bashing.
I just dare to say what I think., people believe their idols are sacred and qualify as bashing a valid opinion.
His voice destroys my nerves, I love Yes music, but they are not in my top 20 exclusively because of Jon Anderson's monotonous voice.
Now I'm not a fan of his lyrics, but I wouldn't have any problem with them if a good vocalist sung those lyrics.

Hey, men, does anybody know Norwegian band Gargamel? Quite good music with perfect Hammond and Mellotron sound, but their vocalist Tom Uglebakken is simply horrible and always discourages me. Regrettably. That´s a pity!

I love The Residents, but c'mon this was an obvious choice.

I love Roxy, but anyone think Bryan Ferry should be on the list?

I've noticed you really don't like male vocalists who sing in a higher register. And if you take exception to this feel free to name one. Don't think this remark to be a slam but more as a challenge.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

By the contrary Starti:
I'm a fan of: - David Surkamp (Pavlov's Dog): His voice is higher than Jon's, but he modulates it and uses technique to make it unique.
- Geddy Lee: Also acuter than Jon, but knows how to create variations.
- David Byron: The guy goes as high as other man went before, but he also covered the low ranges, I'm an ultra fan of him.
- Arthur Brown: Really acute when he wanted, his screams were legendary, but the guy is a genius.
I don't dislike high or low ranges, I dislike musicians with no technique at all that throw their voice without variations like Jon Anderson or Phil Collins, even John Wetton with a fantastic register sounds soulless to me.

I saw The Residents live in concert. Those vocals were really bad.

Ferry shoudnt be on the list, imo, because his voice is so unique and perfectly fits to the music which Roxy made.

Spoiler: Homer Flynn is the singing Resident.
This is clearly a troll thread so I won't vote. All of these vocalists work well in their respective bands, otherwise they wouldn't be established members for as long as they've been.
Clearly none of you have heard the music of Trent Gardner. While he occasionally writes some brilliant vocal hooks, he's definitely someone who could benefit from employing a different vocalist. (And his work with other vocalists has been pretty consistently excellent).
