Dr Know go and get your ears syringued right now.Jon anderson has the finest voice in rock along with Hammill and Gabriel.And I see one of the usual suspects rearing their anti Yes heads.Seem to recall a Drew dissing Close to the Edge some time ago.

im pretty sure soprano is deep, but of course, im no expert on this, so I could be (and very likely am) wrong

They are all more soprano than tenor.Baritone is deep.I like all three singers.
I think the registers are castrati,alto,soprano,contralto,tenor,baritone.Someone correct me where appropriate.

Those 3 are my favorites and influences... together with Robert Smith, Peter Gabriel and Eric Martin.

I  Labrie and Anderson.
Geddy can be quite annoying sometimes, but his voice goes well with the music
So none.

Yes definitlly J. Anderson, has a girly man voice |
But so did Geddy early on...his voice was more is the castrati range than Anderson's will EVER be. Besides, that's Anderson trademark...you hear those high pitches and you know, without doubt, that's YES.

Geddy is amazingly high, I was shocked to hear a man go that high, but I like him and Rush nonetheless. He is very unique.
Jon Anderson has a beautiful voice, and while im not a big fan of high voices on men, he pulls it off better than anyone lese could hope to.
Labrie, I think tries to be bad. He obviously has plenty of talent, but he always sings in that whiney tone. For example, on the great epic Change of Seasons, there are moments where his voice sounds great, and then others its almost as bad as Kurt Cobain. (well ok maybe not quite that bad) He got my vote on this thread.

I like all of the mentioned vocalists. Geddy would be my favorite of the
three.

I voted Jon Anderson as I dont find him as good as the other two, theres just something about his voice that I dont get, but he's not really bad either, just average I guess  .

I would probably enjoy Rush's music if I could get past Geddy's tinny voice. But I can't.

I dont really mind any of them, and I love Jon Anderson's voice, but Geddy Lee can get a little strange when he screeches.
