I love LaBrie, Tate and Gildenlow, but I voted for Allen, of SYMPHONY X.

But just because Mike Baker (SHADOW GALLERY) wasn't listed in this poll - why wasn't he?

I voted other: Where is Bob Catley and Bruce Dickinson? My choice would have to be Uriah Heep's David Byron. Such incredible power!

In my opinion, without question, the best prog-metal singer is James LaBrie by a longshot. Great range and also great emotion and expressive vocals.

Some would interpret that as "cheesy". Others seem to interpret it as "the big cheese".

Big cheese be damned!Embarrassed

That applies more to his band Strapping Young Lad than to Devin himself.  His only solo album I've really given a good listen to is Ocean Machine, but it had a really spacey Hawkwind kind of vibe to it, and I don't see how it wouldn't be considered prog.

People may or may not like LaBrie's voice, but I too have seen DT live, and the man is an extremely talented singer.

this thread is more about "who's your favorite prog metal band" than "prog metal vocalist" judging by the poll results

I voted Russel Allen, really great work with Sym X, Ayreon, and Star One

James Labrie - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of Dream Theater, but Labrie's vocals live are an embarrassment; yes, I have the live albums, and yes, I've seen them a few times, too - the man couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!

This is impossible! I can't choose between Russell Allen (one of the most talented vocalists anywhere), and Mikael Akerfeldt. I like them both so much...

He is even better than Labrie, in term of emotion and range. If you want to hear him sing in his maternal language, check out Sagrado's last album 'A leste do sol, oeste da lua', he guests indeed on one song : "Bem aventurados", his performance on this song made me want to dig Angra's early discography.

The current singer (Edu Falaschi) is quite good also, sounds a bit like Bruce dickinson of iron Maiden, apparently he aplied for the singing job in iron Maiden when Bruce went off to pursue a solo carreer, he didn't made the cut, but he's a decent singer.

 

I voted for Geoff Tate from Queensryche BTW
