James LaBrie, if DT got rid of him it would be a step in the right direction.

I think that the singer from Grobschnitt, Wildschwein, has the worst
voice in prog. It is shrill and has a piercing quality that makes me
cringe. The music is great, however,

Well, in my country Demis Roussos was very popular, especially in the 70s (that decade was a tragedy in my country in musical terms, with small exception of SBB) and for me he was an epitome of prog traitor, who sold himself to the pop. You see this fat, bearded guy, clad in white robes, singing about romantic love - gross.
Nevertheless he did great work in Aphrodite's Child.
And Fish and Peter Gabriel were there for the reason that a friend of mine who introduced me to prog dislikes them (they are great singers and poets, I love Genesis and Marillion, so my friend is right weirdo, isn't he?), so I just wanted to check the response. Hopefully, only few people here on PA do not like Genesis (it's self contradictory to be proghead and dislike Genesis, isn't it?).

Interesting fact is that nobody has yet declared that Demis Roussos annoys him (great singer though, but let's face it, all the guys discussed here are great). It is perhaps due to the fact, that nobody knows his solo career (damned pop) or almost nobody ever listened to Aphrodite's Child. |
And I believe it's right, after leaving Aphrodite's Child, Demis was left alone to make his music, as a matter of facts Aphrodite's Child broke because Artemios Ventouris Roussos had many discussions with Evengelio Odyssey Papathanassiou (That's their real names, easy to understand why they changed them  ) about the line the band should adopt, Demis wanted fast money and easy pop, Vangelis wanted something more adventurous.
Without the talent of Vangelis, Demis music became weak, but his voice was always amazing, deep and powerful, so I can't understand why he was included in this list (Neither Gabriel or Fish).

James LaBrie, no question. When DT
aren't playing something heavy, he turns it into emo. Reasonably
good when singing metal, awful when singing anything else.
Also, if anyone votes Gabriel, they should be ostrisized from the prog community. Just kidding, but not really. |
Better excommunicate me now. I can't stand Gabriel's voice, and I registered my vote as such.
However, I always view such things as me not "getting it". No
worries. Plenty of music to go around for everyone.

The trouble is he is probably the leader and the founder of Eloy.

Adrian Belew has a great voice...listen to "City of Tiny Lights", "Frame by
Frame" or "One Time", it's expressive, gutsy and rich. Lee Jackson can have a
real nails on chalkboard effect.

Gabriel is as brilliant live as he is in the studio.
Bigi, you get an Abba feeling from the magnificent Annie, open up your ears to the controlled clarity that is Annie Haslam; one of rock's icons. 
Now, to more serious matters, the amount of these silly threads that are continually cropping up are beginning to do my crust in. Fish is simply marvellous, repeat, bloody marvellous!!!!!!!!

My choices:
- Geddy Lee (up to Permanent Waves)
- Peter Hammill
- David Surkamp
- Les Claypool
- Billy Corgan (what a pity...he's so gifted a writer!)
- Lee Jackson (though I can bear him more than the others I mentioned)
Annie Haslam of Renaissance has a great voice, but I always get an "ABBA" feeling when listening to her...and that doesn't fit at all with prog rock!
And, by the way, James LaBrie and Peter Gabriel are OUTSTANDING singers (at least in the studio) |
anyone who says Peter Hammill has a bad voice does not know what he/she is saying. one may not like the way he uses it sometimes, but to say his voice is bad is a mile off. he can sing absolutely beautifully and does at times when it fits the lyrics
