These two singers keep me from liking these two bands, which is a shame because I generally like the actual music. Of the two vocalists, who do you prefer?

Chapman for the throaty quality of his voice. Big influence on Peter Gabriel.

I like both singers, though I went with Surkamp.

Surkamp is a fantastic singer if you are into high-pitched tones. I can better stomach his vocals than Geddy's ones in early Rush albums, probably because there is more fragility and tremolo and because he doesn't "scream".

Roger Chapman is an AMAZING vocalist!!!
 
Noone else can sing Shadow on the Wall (Mike Oldfield) like him and his work with Family is brilliant.
 
You might have added Dave Cousins - some love him (like me) but some hate him.

I vote for Chappo, but what about Roger Waters ? Tongue
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Roger Chapman is a maniac! Love his voice.

Surkamp ain't bad, gets my vote even if only for the Geddy similarity.

David Surkamp. Neither of those vocalists keep me from liking the music of their respective bands. Both singers can produce a strong vibrato, but Surkamp's high-pitched voice is clearer and Chapman sounds a bit more ... Ermm ... goat-like.

I think the Oldfield song is the only one I've heard with Chapman that I actually liked. Thanks for reminding me of Dave Cousins, completely forgot about him but could have added him too.
