top 5?  hmmm

1a and 1b) Justin Hayward and Greg Lake

not just the best best vocalists in prog..  but all of rock.

3a) 3b)Richard Sinclair and David Sylvian

I mean seriously man... you have to be one of them long haired pinko types with a commie flag tacked up on  the wall of your garage.. a real snake in the grass I tell ya guys to not think that either of them ..could make singing the f**king yellow pages mandatory listening

5) Jack Bruce.. sure he is probably only behind Jamerson and Entwistle as the greatest bassist to have ever played.. but I love.. absolutely love his voice. Completely underrated as a singer. Be in slow songs... or hard and heavy

1. **Freddie Mercury**
2. Steven Tyler
3. Elton John
4. Michael Jackson
5. Florence Welch

Other strong contenders that could make the top 5 on any given day:
Geddy Lee
Matt Bellamy
Peter Gabriel
David Bowie
Mandy Lee (MisterWives)


I hope this wasn't meant to be prog exclusive, lol.




Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I have it on good authority that Tiny Tim and Jean Stapleton were actually the same person. And without her, ehh him, prog as we know it wouldn't exist.

Carroll O'Connor never got over the shock.

Oh, and Jon Anderson.

Perhaps finding the happy medium is harder than we know.
