Both are fine by me - it depends on the quality of the vocals! One of the greatest singers of all time, Glenn Hughes, plays bass and sings - as do Geddy Lee, Greg Lake and John Wetton. Other great singers, such as Ronnie Dio, Ian Gillan or Peter Gabriel, concentrate on singing only. The results are outstanding in both cases!

Jon Anderson played guitar and harp for a few yes songs and it didn't seem to make too much of a difference.

If a vocalist has a great voice then I think he should only concentrate on usining it perfectly, and NOT try to play an instrument... Mike Baker Doesn't play anything, but he usees his voice grandly!!!

In prog...I would rather have maybe a bassplayer who can sing...but if someone with a voice like Gabriel or Anderson came...then I go and find me a bassplayer! hehehe
