Tim Bowness (No-Man) singing Back when you were beautiful Frank Zappa, Flakes, the "Take it away Bob" part. Great Gig In The Sky Deep Purple, Child In Time Greg Lake, Jerusalem and Epitaph
That's just off the top of my head.

Forgive me for forgetting the name of the song, but that bit in a Syd Barrett tune where he says 'Kinda catchy' Arthur Brown's shouted intro to Fire has been sampled and flogged to death but is still sends a delicious shiver up the spine every time. A John Cale scream is always worth sticking around for. Gary Brooker's tagline to In Held Twas In I by Procul Harum - Life's a beanstalk, isn't it?

I'm afraid there are many incredibly beautiful singing moments which I wouldn't be able to remember nor to choose one of them. I would have to choose something from Jon Anderson, Greg Lake (well, from him it would have to be Epitaph), Annie Haslam, Francesco di Giancomo, Jimi Spi... (the singer from Metamorphosi), or perhaps even something from Within Temptation (though that doesn't have any prog in it). But then one that came to my mind when I saw the title of this thread was a moment from a Therion son, in the album "Secret of the Runes", the song "Midgard", after some "choir" vocals, at about 40 seconds, kicks in a soprano singer that sounds just amazing... as a matter of fact that whole album has some really beautiful singing with opera like choirs and soprano.

vocals are quite an important part in music that features a (or more) vocalist, but often they are not the very main focus point for me, but sometimes they can be inrecibly beautiful or effective. if this has been done earlier then kindly enlighten me. if not then feel free to tell me and the othere pa-members wich your favourite vocal moments (eg lines, choruses or whole songs) are. here's a few to get it going:
anathema: angel walk along us (the ville valo part)
lazuli: lepas de l'ogre (or pretty much anything else)
opus symbiosis: artefacts of the gardener (put a letter in a bottle and throw it in the sea/or whisper the story in someones ear/ etc...), one of the best female vocalists imo
porcupine tree: the joke's on you (strange days/incredible days/bring all the children to me/ etc) and .3 (black the sky, weapons fly / lay them waste for your race
)
I didn't expect to see a Steven Wilson moment here in this thread but for me its quite a few of them. Currently,
Steven Wilson - Untitiled - Insurgentes
When he goes "I threw my life away, And for what? I blew my chances too, I see the bitter truth,
I give up" it shakes me up quite a bit, the way he sings it seems really honest.
And I got into Porcupine Tree because of these three lines from "Arriving somewhere ..."
"All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, comprimised
And all of my dreams, sacrificed"
I have heard Arriving somewhere a few 1000 times, but still, these lines still bring it all out of me.
