I agree. His voice may be an acquired taste, but it is a good voice nonetheless, in terms of tuning, power and clarity. It got better as he got older and his balls eventually dropped 
From Moving Pictures onward, in particular I thought it was a genuinley good voice
BTW ALL: Is anyone else having trouble replying with quote??? On several different PC's I've had this problem in recent days. Thats why I didn't respond with quote to rushlady...

The poll is missing a lot of worse singers - I can't tell you how many prog bands make great music but have a terrible singer.
Puppet Show comes to mind - sometimes the singer is good, but sometimes he sounds like Axl Rose bustin' veins in his neck.
And any band that sounds like Yes has a horrible singer - there's no substitute for Jon at higher octaves.

There are some imbiciles on here of late and I do mean imbiciles they should not be allowed space on here.Hammill is possibly the best singer ever.If you know nothing of vocals you really should shut totally up.Have you ever sung? Do you know what it's like to be able to go from one note to another effortlesly.Can you imagine how great it is to do what you want without thinking?If you truly believe this great man cannot sing then you do not belong on this site.You should be trolling your asinine comments elsewhere ,if you are prog minded then God help you.And skip Imo if you cannot recognise vocal genius then you have serious musical problems.And do not come back about personal taste; your ears must have been handgrenaded

OK, folks dissing Geddy Lee - let's hear you tackle some Rush tunes in his range!
He's one of those singers you either love or hate unfortunately. My dad likens his voice to a chicken on steroids - LOL!
I, for one, LOVE Ged's voice - unique, crisp, and great range! You GO Ged!

The more that things change, the more they stay the same.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Drew!
Chill out!
I'm a huge Rush fan and I agree that Geddy Lee is a good singer, but he sure aint for everyone, and people dont qualify as morons for not liking him.
I've never heard the guy from Pain of Salvation, but he can have my vote as his band has a crap name...
IMO...

Anyone who lists Peter Hammill as bad singer has never heard what he really can do. And I am not talking of the extreme singing he often deals out which certainly is not everybodies cup of tea. But the man can sing absolutely beautifully. Let me relate something that happened on a Peter Hammill concert in Bochum: He had given 5 encores, and the roadies had already started to dismount the stage, yet still the audience wanted more. Then Hammill came back on stage, a towel around the shoulders, advanced to the front of the stage and sang "Again" in an absolutely beautiful voice, without mic. The whole audience was completely silent, but when he had finished the applause thundered. What many don't like about his singing though is that when he doesn't sing of beautiful things his voice sounds the same as what he sings about, so I understand why many hate him. But he can sing completely different, and one should take the time to hear this side of him too. But saying he cannot sing is completely off the mark

eriksalkeld: No, it isn't useless because I didn't ask who is the worst. I asked who is a bad singer and you could vote for more than one singer from that list. I consider some singers on the list as good singers but people can have a different opinion. I hope not many people will cheat selecting one singer more times...

OK. Glad to see how this poll is going. So, what do you think the chances
are that we could see a series of Rush remixes with Geddy's voice digitally
expunged? Then we could send Geddy and Jon Anderson off to sing duets
in Madagascar.
