agreed.

"Hang on to a dream" could have been beuatiful, outsanding song, but it sounds like someone's humming along with on radio.
I don't think he's a good bass player neither.
Percussion, sir!

Steve Howe is easily the worse.  He gets away with it because he's such an awesome guitar player

Indeed, both awful singers. Rick Wright is much better.

Indeed, Steve Winwood sings like a casserole as soon as he tries to get high on his voice. It's obvious on
"Blind faith" i.e.

We are not gonna be mad at you - Fish is not clasically trained singer, and it is the way he interpretes his great lyrics with his emotional voice that turns Marillion fans on.

Steve Hogarth could also sing very emotionally but forget about the tension that Fish provides.
yet you still have time!

I know people are gonna get mad at me for this, but mine has to be Fish from Marillion...I downloaded about 9 or 10 songs off the Net, and, though the music is greatBig smile, Fish sounds nasally, like he's got a cold.

Ohmygod, no....Cry Steve Winwood rules! He's got one of the best, most expressive voices in the business. It's true that his voice tends to strain a bit on the higher notes, but all in all his singing is fantastic, so soulful and moving. He's one of the real greats!

Agreed. Labrie is great in the studio but blah live.
 
Although I did get footage of him in 92-93, he sang really well live back then... nearly as good as in the studio.

Oh, come on! Geddy Lee's voice isn't bad at all. I think he's a very good vocalist (maybe the lyrics help too, though).

Anyway, the "worst" vocalist has to be the one from Eloy. I would have prefered it for him to sing in German rather than sing in English with that awful accent. But he doesen't bother me much either, afterall Eloy isn't about the lyrics, it's about the spacey sound.
