There are remaining 25 of 50 male candidates to the title "Best Prog Singer" from widest spectrum of Prog Archives.

First 10 of each poll will advance to the next round.

Deadline for voting in this poll is October 2nd.

EDIT: Deadline was shortened a week, I think it´ll be sufficient.

Wow, you've managed to include my two favorite, often overlooked, vocalists in each of the polls! It's got to be Dan Swanö for me.

How can I choose from such a selection??!! On technical ability and character, I'm tempted to vote Freddie Mercury, but,,

I'll vote for Chris Thompson. He is a fantastic singer and often overlooked, because MMEB, don't appear to be a favorite among many prog fans.

Simply: Nobody has nominated him. Probably he´s better guitarist than vocalist (it´s my opinion too). Let see:

Devin Townsend has an amazing voice, and his growls/screams have almost as wide a range Tongue so I voted for him.

That's ok. I didn't know about this. In my opinion he is a great singer, regardless about he is one of the best guitarists ever.

I know this may seem like a sin to say, but I am not a big fan Greg Lake, largely because he seems to struggle singing in tune, which is a bare minimum for a singer! So instead I went for Richard Sinclair, who is very understated, and underappreciated.

I've often thought that about Lake too, more so in ELP, than in KC, but I still like the 'tone' his voice generally.

A poll between Mike Patton and Devin Townsend is gonna give me a hard time voting for the most talented, versatile singer. They both have their own charms, Mike can reach from low to ridiculously high notes while singing in many styles while Devy can go around from screaming, crooning and operatic singing while skillfully playing his guitar (arpeggios, anybody?).
But I am currently most in the passion with the Canadian, so Devy gets my vote.

All three of my male noms are here...it'll be tough.  I really love Vander's vocals, they're unique, and full of emotion.  Richard Sinclair has such a warm, friendly sounding voice.  Demetrio Stratos...well, he's a vocal beast!

Vander will probably take it though (fanboyism ruling out?) because of his performances on songs like Hhaï, Lihns, and everything else he's sung on.
