My favorite vocal moment?  All of Images and Words.

"Watch the sparrow falling..."
"...So try another day..."
"...Light to dark, dark to light..."
"...I thought I could live without pain..."
"...Praying for time to disappear..."
And of course the F#, and many others.

Also:
2112: Soliloquy, where Geddy Lee screams in agony and it just sends chills down your spine.
As Sure As Eggs is Eggs (self-explanatory); actually all of Supper's Ready
Toby Driver (motW):
"The blind need to see,
The deaf need to hear
We need to speak
I love you."

And of course:
"Until one day I stopped caring
AND BEGAN TO FORGET WHY I LONGED TO BE SO CLOSE
AND I DISAPPEARED INTO THE DARKNESS
AND THE DARKNESS TURNED TO PAIN
AND NEVER WENT AWAY
UNTIL ALL THAT REMAINED 
WAS BURIED
DEEP BENEATH THE SURFACE"

I'm a sucker for good vocals Embarrassed

This may sound like heresy, but I liked the end of Supper's Ready better sung by Collins than by Gabriel.

Last Saturday I saw La Locanda delle Fate live, Leonardo Sasso may be one of the most emotional singers ever.

10:49-11:25 



Would you catch my words?
I know that there's no time
I know that there's no rhyme...
false signs find me
I don't want to hate,
I just want to grow;
why can't I let me
live and be free?
but I die very slowly alone.
I know no more ways,
I am so afraid,
myself won't let me
just be myself
and so I am completely alone...


Also from this incredible album:

7:35-9:15



And I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am,
I know, I'm not a hero, I hope that I'm not damned
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these,
Dictators, saviors, refugees
In war and peace
As long as Man lives

I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these,
Dictators, saviors, refugees

Here's another one: When I was young and they packed me off to school
and taught me how not to play the game,
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
with their God tucked underneath my arm --
their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
So I asked this God a question
and by way of firm reply,
He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers --
I don't believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong --
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.

Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale has amazing vocals, that stand the test of time. 
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

Mine would be Jon Anderson's "I get up, I get down" duh ha ha. Love the ending to Supper's Ready as well. Mikael Akerfeldt always has good vocals. The opening growl on the moor and the slow section vocal like 2 min. into the song deliverance are wonderful. And lastly Daniel Gildenlow's chorus on Rope Ends. (but he has a ton of great vocals period ex. In the flesh)  
also just remembered. The crazy high chorus sections on The Mars Volta song Eriatarka

Peter Hammill is a wonderful singer, expecially in The Undercover Man, but Demetrio Stratos is even a vocal researcher and maybe not everyone fully appreciates him. The vocals in Mirage?Mirage are just outstanding.

"You will live by the show of our teeeeEEEeeeth! Aaaaaaoooooeeeeth!"
            ~Pain of Salvation

"The tales of the flute by the fire
A stroll through a sombre evening"
           ~maudlin of the Well

"Here at the glass - all the usual problems,
all the habitual farce.
You ask, in uncertain voice, what you should do
as if there were a choice
but to carry on miming the song
and hope that it all works out right.
Tonight it all seems so strange -
my spirit feels rigid,
my body deranged;
still that's only from one point of view
and we can't have illusion between me and you,
my constant friend, ever close at hand -
you and the undercover man"
                   ~Van Der Graaf Generator

"La-de-dada-daa, la-de-daaaaa-deda, Da-deda-da-daa, La-de-daaa-dadum,
Da-dedadeadaa, La-de-a-u-a-a, La-de-a-u-a-a, La-de-a-u-a-a,
De-da-daaaaaaaaaaa, De-da-aaa, La-da-daaa, De-daa-daa,
La-a-aaaa-aaa-aa-a-a-aa-aaa-aaa, Aaaa-a-aaa, Aaa-da-daaa, Aaa-a-aaa, Aaa-a-aaa,
Aaaaa-aa-aa-aa-aaa, Aa-aa-aaaa-aaaaa
Hmm-hmmm, Hm-hm-hm-hm-hmmm, Hm-hm-hmm-hmmmm, Hm-hm-hmm-hmmmm"

Yes - Turn of the Century
Genesis - Duke's End (when Phil reprises Guide Vocal at the height of drum intensity)
Genesis - Back in NYC
Jeff Buckley - Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai (From the deluxe Sin-e disc)
Queen - The Prophet's Song
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You
Radiohead - Morning Bell
It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.
