The worst voice of prog??

For some reason I have yet to find a prog vocalist that I don't like. I find absolutely nothing wrong with Geddy lee, or james labrie who are my absolute favorite singers. I don't  see how people can possibly find these fantastic singers a weak link in the band or annoying. Some others I have heard some people mention here and in other threads are Jon anderson and the singer for coheed and cambria. I think both of these aregreat singers whose voices do not annoy me the least bit. I am even not annoyed by 1994-1999 era James Labrie singing with his vocal problems. The only one I can possible think of is the singer for Opeth. Don't get me wrong, I think he's fine ringing regularly but I HATE growling vocals and death metal.

It seems vocalists get it VERY hard here where as musicianship gets little critique.

The two who for me completely ruin the music of the bands they "sing" in and made me stop following the bands:

Adrian Belew. I wish I could get the master tapes of KC's post Wetton albums and switch off the voice.

Steve Hogarth. The same apply.

someone else: don't know yet! :D

The person who vote for Gabriel never heard Dancing With the Moonlit Knight.

His theatrical style is excelent and unique in the Prog scene.

hahahhah.... that's what my wife says... and I sing in the church choir..

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!!!!!!!!

 

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.

1) Most German neo-prog singers

2) Roine Stolt

3) Andy Tillison

4) Damo Suzuki

5) Greg Lake

6) Nick Barrett

7) Andy Sears (the man who destroyed Twelfth Night)

8) Paul Menel (the man who almost destroyed IQ)

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