Yes, yes. Where is Peter Hammill? The most sincere singer of all times. His voice - ia world of art and emotions. He deserve to be mention. I didn't vote for anyone. Only Gabriel and Andersons are good to me. But there a plenty of singers,that much better.

I agree with you !

But for me Peter Hammill is far more than a voice!!!!

I would like to vote both for Peter Gabriel (a world of creativity, thks for the music of the world) and Jon Anderson (the angel who makes you feel lighter, thks for your works with Vangelis).

I have pointed out that a lot of "Neo-Prog" singers mimic Peter Gabriel's voice (consciously or not), Fish first.

In fact they mimic Fish copying Gabriel.(yes, I know Marillion's fans would kill me know)

Don't agree ?

Listen the voice of Fish singing more recently with Tony Banks : closer to Phil Collins than Gabriel !

"He chameleon"

It's curious that nobody can realy mimic Jon Anderson !

kisses

Almost forgot the voice of rock - Glenn Hughes. He never played prog rock, but his singing is unique. I haven't heard a voice any stronger.

And what aboat Roger Chapman? His works with great band FAMILY are very innovative and ineresting. Especially, his works on 1970 "A song for me".

From the list, I went for Neal Morse. My favorite singer is Ian Gillan for the sheer power and range that he had and to a lesser degree, still has. I agree with Glenn Hughes as well. I lost touch with his music and only recently re-discovered him with his Songs In The Key Of Rock cd. Absolutly stunning pipes on the guy.

Songs in the key of rock is a good example. Raw power and energy all over the record.Gasoline makes listener crazy.

Peter Gabriel from Genesis of course, but why oh why did you have to miss out on Brian Ferry and Robbie Plant?

Even though I really like Jon Anderson's voice, I vote for Peter Gabriel because he is more versitale.

I just want to quote Robert Fripp on voices: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the voice".

So glad to see Fish on that list.  Probably my favorite voice of all time.

P.S. - I love Greg Lake too!  Where is he?

The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

  1. Ian Anderson (love his voice, they fit the lyrics perfectly, I'll take his idea of humor over Zappa's  anyday)

Some Others:

  • Peter Gabriel (definition of emotion, without sounding like a parody like Peter Hammill)
  • Greg Lake (especially with KC, amazing)
  • Derek Shulman is great as well
  • Pye Hastings

Some I hate:

  • Peter Hammill
  • Geddy Lee
  • James LaBrie
  • Fish

Peter Hammill and no-one else. He has the most versatile voice of all and can express the full range of feelings wonderfully. Many only have the shrieking and aggressive Hammill in mind when they think of his voice, but he can be the exact opposite too. He really uses his voice as an instrument. What's more: He demonstrated what can be done with a voice and certainly was a major influence for many other singers. One may not like his style, but leaving him out in a poll for best voice because of this is simply ridiculous.

1. Greg Lake

2. John Wetton

3. Phil Collins

4. Peter Hammill

5. Jim Capaldi

None were on the list, so Fish got an extra vote

Voted Gabriel from that selection.

The list is missing some key singers: Greg Lake, Peter Hammill, Phil Collins & Justin Hayward.

Although I'm not a big Moddys fan, I think Justin Hayward has a wonderful voice.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
