Dude,
That CD is simply smashing & super and all those other superlatives that begin with an "S" that
our friends across the pond like to use.
A bit too much reverb on the overall mastering, but some awesome music, especially when you BLAST it
on a fine stereo. Benoit David's voice sounds clear and powerful on that record.

You're kidding right? |
He must be. |
 , believe it or not, I am not kiddin! Charlie Dominici just had to be in my list for being the vocalist on my Nr.2 favourite albums of all time wich is Dream Theater´s WDAU. I bought this album when it came out and after all those years it has absolutely stood the test of time for me. I love listening over and over to it, it does not get boring and the vocals are great! I put Benoit David in my list as I love his work with Mystery. The two albums he done with Mystery are examples of one of the most beautiful vocal peformances for me. His work on the new Yes album is also not bad.

Benoit David might well be a good singer, I don't know, but having to clone Anderson and then to perform Heart of the Sunrise live is not going to help his reputation. I never got around to Fly from Here, so no idea how he fared on that album.

Heartwarming to see the usually overlooked Chris Thompson on a list, and at the top to boot! 
The next four... hmm. I guess I might end up with (alphabetically) Jon Anderson, Greg Lake, Martin Turner and John Wetton, but ranking them internally is just too much work.
Oh, and how about that Cedric Bixler dude... and Bowie... and...
As I said, - too much work...

Always loved Chris Thompson's voice mainly for MMEB admittedly but his solo work and singing on Jeff Wayne's War Of THe Worlds is brilliant as well.
Hayward is from my home town  but I do love his voice and gets my vote just for Question if nothing else
Lake - can make even the most 'daft' lyrics seem vitally important
Wetton - very soulfull
Nicholls - sheer angst and emotion. The Wake is the killer album as far as his vocals go (for me).

I totally mentioned Mikhael.
But for real are you guys serious? As I burn through the playlists of different genre's on here, I notice that Prog Metal has the most awful sounding singers in general. Anyone that sounds remotely like James LaBrie is just terrible.

Then you're looking at the 'Dream Theater' clones. I'm talking about good quality prog metal. For example
- Mikael Akerfeldt - Russel Allen - Neige - Jorn Lande - Scott Kelly - Maynard James Keenan - Stefan Zell
I could go on...
And LaBrie sounds fine. Not amazing, but fine.
