Your favourite vocal moments

Steeleye Span - Gaudette

Some favourite moments off the top of my head.

Jon Anderson's "Farewell, farewell" bit before the church organ kicks in on Awaken by Yes - always sends a shiver down my spine. Great Gig in the Sky has a similar effect.

John Wetton's full throated roar of "Starless and Bible Black" prior to the instrumental section on KC's Starless.

The vocals on the 3rd Impression of ELP's Karn Evil 9 - from where Greg Lake sings "Rejoice! Glory is ours, our young men have not died in vain! Their graves need no flowers, the tapes have recorded their names." through to the shouty argument with the computer. I always was a sucker for a bit of pompous bombast!

I love the impact Geddy Lee has when he sings "Then all at once the chaos ceased...." in Hemispheres.
Roger Waters - The Gunners Dream
Most Hammill VDGG moments.
MJK - Aenema

everything from the one and only FREDDIE.....

There are MANY, but two that stick out that I've listened to recently:

Pain of Salvation- Iter Impius  (Daniel Gildenlow)
Transatlantic- Bridge Across Forever (Neal Morse)

Love how the singers sing these two songs, both give me chills.

Very good choices, I once spent a day listening to nothing but Iter Impius
Favorite vocal moments from Iter Impius- 4:10-ish and 5:06-ish

More Additions...
3:08ish and all that rhythmic scat-like noise he makes toward the first and last few minuets of the song "A Trace of Blood"
About 3:25-3:50 and "Smile for the King of Loss"
I'm sure I'll be adding some more as I re-listen to all my favorite Pain of Salvation

Edit 2:

Pink Floyd - "Great Gig In The Sky"
3:18-3:37 of Radiohead's "Reckoner"
2:50- 4:20 of Sylvan's "Force of Gravity"
The chorus of "Nights in White Satin" - The Moody Blues"
The end of Clutching at Straws

Some non-prog...
"How many time most I sell myself, before my peices are gone? I'm one of a kind, I'm designer"
       ~Queens of the Stone Age (I'm Designer)
"Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I've beeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnn, AAAAaaaaAAaaaa"
       ~Led Zeppelin (Kashmir)
"Don't it make you feel bad? / When you're trying to find your way home you don't know which way to go? / When you're going down south and there's no work to do / And you're going on to Chicago"
      ~Led Zeppelin (When the Levee Breaks)
"Toy-like people maybe boy-like, toy-like people maybe boy-like..."
      ~Massive Attack (Risingson)

I think, I may have to cut myself off, there are simply too many
