I always thought that Anderson and Rabin's voices complete each other (even better than Squire / Anderson).


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Geddy Lee, Fountain of Lamneth

"Call out for direction
And there's no one there to steer
Shout out for salvation
But there's no one there to hear
Cry out supplication
For the maelstrom is near
Scream out desperation
But no one cares to hear
"

Peter Hammill, A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers

"Oceans drifting sideways I am pulled into the spell
I feel you around me, I know you well
Star sliced horizons where the lines stand much to stalk
I feel I am drowning, hands stretch in the dark
Camps of panoply and majesty, what is freedom of choice
Where do I stand in the pageantry whose is my voice
It doesn't feel very bad now, I feel the end is the start
Begin to feel very glad now
All things are apart
All things are apart
All things are apart."

Not Prog:

All of VdGG- 'Arrow.'
Also, the first minute of 'Script for a Jester's Tear.'
The harmonies in 'Gravity Eyelids' - PT.
The chorus in 'The Court of the Crimson King.'

Almost every time Annie Haslam opened her mouth with Renaissance.

I heard her do a live version of Simon and Garfunkel's "America"--the memory still gives me chills.

I'm surprized only one mentioned any Annie Haslam moments in Renaissance.
End of Scheherezade, middle of Things I Don't Understand,,...so many others
They still send chills down my spine. Second place (Jon Anderson) is not even close.

I must agree, about 90% of everything Annie Haslam did with Renaissance would be my first choice ... and much of Justin Hayward, with a special nod to Blue Jays, close behind (with apologies to Greg Lake!)

David Bowie on the chorus of "Big Brother"
Devin Townsend on "Supercrush!"
Peter Gabriel on "Back in NYC"
h on "Easter"
Mikael Akerfeldt on "Ghost of Perdition"....all of it
 
predictably, "I get up, I get down"....
 
 
....and for all the metalheads, the opening shriek of Slayer's "Angel of Death"
"WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH!    WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!!   WAAAAAOOOO!!!"

Another one for me is the slow middle section of Moody Blues Question. Hayward seems to be singing on behalf of a whole generation of people. On a similar theme I would also go for Matthew Southern Comfort's version of Jonie Mitchells Woodstock. Very special.

"And the meek shall inherit the earth.."
"I'll remember, the good things how can you forget, all the things that we shared, in our way"
"I could never be a soldier, I could never face the enemy. I could never be a soldier, he looks just like you and me."
"Don't let it break your heart (heart), don't let it break your heart (don't let it break your)"
"I repeat myself when under stress,
I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress"
"Will you catch, these words of mine, will you catch, my words."

List the names of all these songs and get a cookie Smile

EDIT: HOW COULD WE FORGET THE GREATEST OF ALL? "Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside..."

Lots of Quadrophenia has great vocal moments, Keith Moon singing on Bell Boy is another.
 
Also, DT-PT's sig is one of my favorites.
 
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way," is a personal fav of mine.
 
And practically all of VDGG's Plague of Lighthouse Keepers has the best Hammill vocals ever.
