In order to be concise, fair and not to extend the purpose of this thread off-limits to lead singers of unpopular yet unrecognizable bands to us, I just made a list with the top 20 that popped right into my mind without having second thoughts about it. In addition to this poll, and since there were only 20 spots to be filled (which I filled in strict alphabetical order to avoid favoritisms), I might've left out many, many outstanding lead singers which I'd like to see you name over the replies. So, whit all that said, I cast my vote to Fish on this one (Roger Waters was also in the back of my mind, but since Derek has been the only one to make burst into tears…) Land
Note: I'm aware of the previous polls posted by lucas regarding this issue separately (best male and female voice polls), but this one is specifically directed to determine the best voice (English language vocalists only) in business. I mean, there's gotta be one out of the bunch! ------------- break the circle reset my head wake the sleepwalker and i'll wake the dead |

Ugh. Are we talking favorite? best quality? most expressive? best range? most flexible? Should I vote for someone who could make the telephone directory sound good, or someone who perfectly suits the material? Is being able to play an instrument and sing simultaneously an issue? I'll sit this one out; none of my 10-15 favorite vocalists are in the prog genre anyway. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Finally someone thinks the same thing I do. He's pklayed in alot of good bands, he's a pretty good bass player, but his singing SUCKS! Almost every 2 seconds he goes flat and it's just gross. Of course I sit through it so I can just listen to the music since he's on alot of good bands I listen to. Anyway, I voted Peter Gabriel. He is my favorite vocalist. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

I voted on Peter Hammill, and I particularly think that Wetton's singing in 'Starless' helps the song deliver the emotional, eerie melancholy that precedes the delirium outburst that goes afterwards. I consider him the bes tvocalist in KC's career: even in live albums his singing sounds more virile than in the studio versiones, and doesn't get lost among the amazing noise that all instrumentalists create. |

I voted for Peter Hammill, the best of the best (male voice) as Gdub says. But Landberk made this poll including just one woman, Annie Haslan. I should have voted for Magdalena Hagberg, an angel.

Some will follow the intent of the poll, and simply praise their favourite singers, others (perhaps younger & more "virile") would rather attack others' favourites.... "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate -- it takes guts to be gentle and kind...." Anyone can tear down or deface, disparage, or destroy -- few can create, or seem to want to bother to.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother.... Long live humour, tolerance, and broad-mindedness! I'm starting to think that too many prog fans are narrow-minded, elitist, and have a grossly inflated sense of their own "wisdom" and (exclusivist) taste! Yeah, I know, me too....

"This sucks, that sucks" -- have some of you ever heard of individual taste?
Gee, I just love to log on here and see well-respected artists, more talented than the vast majority of us, I'd wager, maligned by armchair experts. Some will use their review of one band and album as a platform to attack a completely different band. Very helpful! Negativity and attacking others in a personal fashion (see Reedlover vs Cert & Velvet, on the "Are MP3's Legal" thread) is so much fun, and makes this a better website for all, no?

Excellent. You make a personal attack on me for making a personal attack on someone else!!! Tell me what is the point of this site if we ALWAYS agree to differ? I dont think my attack on Cert was as offensive as you make out! I found his attitude to Mr Lifeson offensive and given that Alex is unlikely to join this thread, took offense for him! Just as you did for the Cert.If we were not passionate about our music and the issues that surround it then this forum would not survive. I have downloaded music off the web and this site too, but never full albums.But I do copy stuff and so I am as guilty as any other. However, whatever stance I intend to take in the future will be influenced by Alex's argument. -------------

^ Fair enough. Point taken, Reed. It's just that all the rampant negativity and anger (here, and in the wider world) really brings me down sometimes, and makes me wonder if humans will ever get it together. So much ready anger and hostility out there (and in modern music) -- yet it mostly only makes things worse.... ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

I would vote for Fish (predictably, perhaps!), but he's Scottish. All of the others do what they do well, but none as well as Freddie Mercury did - love or hate his voice, it was everything from powerfully operatic to gentle and soulful. ReedLover: I fail to see what is so offensive about my "reply" to Alex Lifeson - I meant no offense, just a little redress of the balance. I have read that kind of argument from Record companies and bands sooo many times, and it exaggerates certain aspects in order to make the point. The problem as I see it is that people often end up believing the exaggerations, focus is lost, and 9 year old children get fined thousands of dollars - which must be very scary for them and their parents. I certainly did not and do not condone downloading albums (unless the owner of the material gives them away)!!! I think you have just got the wrong end of the stick somewhere |

Geez, I wonder who I voted for. And for the same reasons as Richard (and not Peter, because he's my favorite). Long before I met him, I heard him... his voice makes my knees weak, his intonation is like no other.. he has one of the most unique, yet very English voices I've ever heard. Not only "The Sage", but listen to "Take a Pebble" or "Still" from Pete Sinfield's solo album... he's the only one who's voice I considered an instrument.. and the only one who's voice has made me cry. The first song I ever heard him sing on was "In the Court of the Crimson King" (I have the 45) .. It was like listening to an angel sing..about courts and fantasy.. his voice bought up so much imagery in my head that when I did finally meet him for the first time, I had to control myself not to drop to my knees... (however, he did let me do that later... I know, I know... I'm a bad girl..... ------------- THIS IS ELP

The most natural gifted voice is by far Greg Lake, but being a vocalist is far more than having a great voice, I believe the best prog' vocalist is Peter Gabriel even if his voice is not as strong as Greg's. Iván |

Peter quoted Morrissey! Well done, sir! My own favorite quote from the Wilde wit is almost appropriate in this thread: "She said I know you and you cannot sing...I said that's nothing, you should hear me play piano." Of all the singers listed, I'm torn between Gabriel and Jon. On one hand, Gabriel balanced his theatricality with a slightly raspy and yearning quality (I feel the same about Gilmour, to a lesser extent); while Jon Anderson at his best was able to counter the mystic poetic pomposity of the lyrics with an almost childlike openness like no one else, except possibly Nick Drake (who had less cosmic lyrics to begin with). And coming in third, Ian Anderson (in better days) had an incredible combination of amazingly disparate elements; folksy and yet wordly, lecherous and spiritual, caustic and tender. I'm not in the camp that dislikes Geddy's voice (me mum didn't believe me when I said the singer was a bloke, haha), but I don't think it's typically very expressive (with certain exceptions). And I could understand where it might grate on people...perhaps it's an aquired taste. Didn't higher pitched voices used to be much more common than now? For a long time you couldn't sing for a hard rock or metal band unless you could hit notes that would shatter glass. Greg Lake has his high and low points for me, but I think he's unbeatable on "Epitaph" and ELP's softer songs ("From the Beginning", "Take a Pebble", "Lucky Man"). And certainly anyone who can inspire the kind of feelings (and behavior) that Ms. fates illustrates must be worth something I'm surprised there's an anti-Wetton contingent; I could understand not being overly impressed by his voice, but actively disliking it? IMAO he was perfect on "Starless", "The Night Watch", and "Fallen Angel". My wife likes him on "Heat of the Moment" too- she made me put that in My favorite prog voice is the Leonardo Sasso- lead singer for Locanda della Fate- and I'm well aware that many people find him annoying. In general I think the italian bands have the best male singers. Strange that I'm put off by the more pompous English vocals but I love the rough operatic bombast of Locanda, Alusa Fallax, Deus ex Machina, etc...maybe I just don't want to understand the lyrics. And one last thing- I'm a big fan of Zappa's voice when he does the sleazy deep-throated voiceover thing ("I am the Slime", and many others). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Good point James, I can't understand how anybody could dislike his voice. I still believe he's tone and range is very similar to Greg Lake's, even though he is a bit soulless. I think some people mix the fact that some of his music is not very good with his voice, it's true that with Asia and other projects he released some crap, but that has nothing to do with his strong and beautiful voice. Heat of the Moment is a terrible track, but his vocals are almost impecable there. Iván |

I'll say it again, Ivan. I've heard both Greg and John sing quite a bit... studio and of course, live... and I find no similarities in their voices. They don't even sound alike in their speaking voices... Maybe you find the connection between imagery or something... I have no clue on that! Actually Dave Kilminster sounds a little like John Wetton. Maybe if he sounded a bit more like Greg, I wouldn't feel the need to throw up when he sings "Lucky Man"... Just a side note... of all the ELP tribute bands I know... Noddy's Puncture, Seven Virgins and a Mule, etc... they have no problems finding a keyboardist or a drummer... but a singer/bassist who can compare to Greg has always impossible for them. ------------- THIS IS ELP

First, Reed Lover and Certif1ed (and Peter): I read through your comments on the mp3 thread, and do not believe that either of you were out of line. Yes, passions were stirred, and perhaps things were said (as Asia would have it) "in the heat of the moment." However, both of you made cogent points, and other than a single mild insult (for which Reed Lover apologized immediately), everything was "kosher." So, at leat for now, can you two guys "kiss and make out"...er..."up?" Re this thread, I did not vote since, as one member pointed out, there are so many aspects of singing to consider, even given the specific title of the thread. As most do, I love Gabriel for what he does, the Andersons (both) for what they do, Lake (who has probably the most naturally "gifted" voice of all), and others. Re Wetton, I always liked the "grittiness" of his vocals, and feel they were a good match for the majority of Crimson's material. However, I believe he does his best vocals on the two "U.K." albums, which have not yet been mentioned. Those albums prove that he can handle both "heavy" ("In the Dead of Night," "Danger Money") and "light" ("Nevermore," "Rendezvous 6:02") singing. Peace. |

"Passion is no ordinary word...The world is easy when you're just playing around." - Graham Parker Peter makes a solid point about the difference between words on a PC monitor and words exchanged between lads in a pub. I've cringed at things I wrote in the past that seemed so innocuous and justified at the time. In fact, I think one example was directed at Peter And I think I should get an award for not re-stating my opinion of Peter Hammill's voice on this thread ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Thanks James. Once more I read your words and want to hang my head in shame! Mind you, when I've a hard day dealing with my customers, saying "Yessir, No Sir Three Bloody bags full sir" you lot are always going to get it. By nature when ever I see the sense in an argument I want to take the opposite view, which tends to make me appear very negative, and not very sensible or sensitive for that matter. I am the kind of person who takes offence but thinks others haven't got the same right because "I am always right"or "I am only joking" This is the problem with being the "boss" at work-appearing to be right all the time is almost an end in itself. That said you'd all better watch out: my inane rants get worse during Autumn and Winter as I dont get out as much!! -------------

Maybe cause I preferred not to hear Roger scream.. .I mean sing... My other favorite singing voice isn't in prog... I always loved to hear Paul Rodgers sing. I wasn't really a fan of Bad Company... but I did like his time with Free.. and then The Firm. But he does sing with a lot of expression. Also what about Justin Hayward? ------------- THIS IS ELP

Regarding Paul Rodgers... I've actually met him a few times and he is quite a nice fellow. He's a bit flakey.. but thats probably just the fact that he's basically a loner personality in a position where he's always surrounded by people. (He tends to disappear a lot and not tell anyone where he's going).. which isn't all that bad until he's about an hour late for soundcheck... ------------- THIS IS ELP
