I think his voice was at it's best in the 80's when he was screaming less.
Moving Pictures remains my top Rush album, but his voice was at it's best between Signals and Counterparts IMO.

Like Rush's music, Geddy's voice always suited the time period they were in. He has a love or hate voice, I love it.

once he lowered his irritating banshee pitch from "permanent waves"
onwards, RUSH quickly became my favourite group. they were, of course,
quite amazing before that, but the "vocals" drove me up the wall! i also
liked the "new waveish" slant that they put to their music at that time.

their 90s work was the best vocally IMO but the worst otherwise generally. Vapor Trails was a step backward vocally as he returned to his 70s sound.
Presto is the best Geddy Lee album vocally.

Actually, I liked him best from about Hemispheres through to Moving Pictures. I still like him now, but found there was a happy medium between the highness of his beginnings, to the more mellower tones we've heard since Signals. I put the 80's, but in reality I like from the latter part of the 70's to the early part of the 80's.

The 70's find him versatile, high-reaching, but his shrieks were kind of...atrocious. (sorry). The 80's found him better in melody, singing without breaking anybody's timpani, but less high-reaching and less versatile... The 90's found him tired. I'll go with the 80's then.

When did Geddy Lee (Rush) sing at his best?

Did Geddy Lee's vocals improve over time?
