From the list I would have to say Fish.  His vocal style gets somewhat tedious to me.  I know he's Scottish, but I prefer not to notice the particular accent of a vocalist.

he's probably getting a free pass... for his stellar harmony work with Yes hahahhah

and who in their right mind other than Progger would vote for Gabriel as a worst anything... other than dressed of course.....

are you kidding me.... WITHOUT Geddy's vocals... Rush would be just another group of talented musicians.. plenty of groups had great chops that probablly wrote better songs... but Rush had... the shrieking  elf for a vocalist... sometimes it takes just the smallest things to get ahead in the musical world hahahah


I agree 100% with Micky. Maybe that Geddy's squeaky voice is the reason why Rush stood out and caught some attention. There are a lot of bands who are great but who never reach high recognition because at first listen, we can't be offended or surprised by something in their music.


  I've always thought Geddy was not a bad singer, just distinctive  (I still  enjoy listening to their early stuff for the 'shrieking elf' vocals)  He  was  an integral part of the Rush sound and probably did a great deal to get them noticed in a mid 70's prog scene filled with lots of bands trying to catch a break.  Though my favorite is the Kansas story ..... American ingenuity.

hhahahhah... it's like the T.V. news.... while we all say we love the feel-good stories.... what all like to hear are the stories where someone screws up  hahah.  The negative always grabs people's attention...  the pessimist/realist  in me thinks that it is much easier to find faults rather than to find the positives in things....

Geddy Lee gave Rush their unique sound which seperated them from every  other band...although I would agree hes got a bad voice.

I don't know if he's a bad singer or not, but I just can't stand the guy from the Italian band Jester's Joke. Same for DT's first singer Charlie D.

Discipline is never an end in it self, only a means to an end.

Even though he is amazing, how about Les Claypool? His voice fits his music well, but his vocals are just so weird.
