It's funny you're talking about this guy because I was just having an argument with one of my friends concerning this guy's voice. I just can't stand it


I was sort of grasping at straws but remember the one time (last time) I listened to an album of theirs, I remember the voice being.... not exactly pleasing to the ear.  Funny thing about that though.... love Magma's vocal work but  some people I know would rather stick their head in a toilet than listen to Magma.  Once again I guess it's all relative....

I think Nick Barrett of Pendragon sounds like Uli Jon Roth. 

For those that haven't heard Uli sing, that's not a complement.

You see this fat, bearded guy, clad in white robes, singing about romantic love - gross.

Demis was also very popular here, I listened his music as soloist (and hated oit) long before I heard Aphrodite's Child, and I simply couldn't believe he was the same guy, and less that he was such a good bass player, because during his pop career he mainly sung (I saw a few concerts by him because the dad of one girlfriend was Roussos fan and he was only singing).

And yes his looks were at the least peculiar.

But I insist, his music sucks but he had a great voice.

Roger's voice quite emotional, right.

Adrian Belew is not a great singer, right, and Discipline era KC was firstly meant to be strictly instrumental

I dunno...Adrian Belew's voice really irritates me on some of his ballads, I
have to say...and more times than one, he seems to be doing this weird
thing where he's talking and singing at the same time...using "Elephant Talk"
as an example...I dunno....I like most prog rock singers...

Roger Waters voice irritates me much more than Geddy Lee ever would.
It sounds like he's always whining like a spoiled little boy.

Yes, he really sings on Thick As A Brick, rather than recitates.

The longest person i took to get into was Ian Anderson. Songs like Hymn 43 his voice is just odd. But now I kinda like it, think he did best on Thick As A Brick

1. IMO, Roger Waters usually doesn't sing, but rather says or yells the words. I think he does a great job of that, for what it's worth.

2. I'm surprised only 2 or 3 people have mentioned Nick Barrett. He's usually called on of the worst. I think he's unique and very talented, however.

3. Yeah, DT were a lot better off with Dominici...

4. Peter Nicholls gets very tiring after awhile.

Geddy? The worse voice in prog? You gotta be kidding me!!!

He could be a bit annoying, right, but I'd rather say his voice is unique, making Yes music celestial.
