I know there are not many, but Annie Haslam should get a mention. I'm just exploring Renaissance albums at the moment, and I'm quite blown away by her voice.

Totally agreed.  Another female singer who should have been in the poll is Joanne Hogg from Iona, she really has a beautiful voice and her singing on live records is just as strong as on studio albums.

Peter Gabriel, probably followed by Jon Andersson.

By the way, I don't know why many people here are so amazed with Fish. Steve Hogarth is a much better vocalist, although it is only my opinion.

At the moment I'm very fond of Ian Andersons singing but out of these I will chose Jon Anderson. He's also a great singer. Geddy Lee, Fish and Peter Gabriël are good runners up.

Out of this list, definitely Lake - followed by Gabriel, Anderson and Lee. However, I think both Richard Sinclair and Ian Anderson would've deserved to be included.

Not totally unique. He sounds very similar to David Surkamp of Pavlov's Dog and Burke Shelley of Budgie
I agree with that he does sound like David Surkamp   The Truth is STEVE WALSH from KANSAS back in the 70`s is KNOWN to have the best voice in Prog  ... but he isn`t even on the list   ...  great list

I would chose Peter Gabriel of course followed by Hammill and I would have
to think if Steve Walsh was included.

EDIT: P.S. who's Phil Collines?

Shluman or Gabriel are my favorites. I voted Shluman. He is not as techinically briliant as Jon Anderson, for instance, but there's something really special about his voice. At first I thought his voice was annoying but I listened more to Gentle Giant and I just find his voice amazing and unique.

 

Same goes for Gabriel, about the "not so brilliant techinicaly, but has a very unique voice"...
