Why is steve Howe even a choice? It's not like he is a lead singer for anyband (excluding solo work.) Why is Demis  Roussos a choice as well? He isn't even progressive, even if you do count Aphrodite's Child.

ha ha, agreed, but I will say Steve Howe really has no business singing as lead. His back-up work with Yes is top notch though.

I'd vote for Fish but when I heard Steve Howe live and on the "Close To The Edge" bonus live-in-studio outtakes he was AWFUL!!! So Steve Howe wins LOL

That cronic smoker from The Nice... the poor guy. I think he wasnt even a singer or a bass player. He simply was passing by near the rehearsal room in wich Keith emerson was having one of his rage outbursts because he needed a singer bass player, and in that outburst, Emerson took him by th throat and say to him "Bass play sing or die"... Sorry, I really couldn't find something better to add. But still, that Kick in the harmony singer is my choice for worst voice.

Other choices: every singer on every Rick Wakeman album.

Geede Lee is ok, but he's gonna have to pay for my windows and mirror.

For once, I'll agree 100% with you!Clap Geddy is a great singer, especially now that he sings in a lower register.

Geddy can get screechy and annoying at times, but his voice is so incredibly important to Rush's sound. The fact that so many people think he's the worst voice in all of prog is disappointing. I mean, what is Rush without Geddy Lee's "othergenderly" vocals?

Fish has completely turned me off Marillion. He sounds too much like a wannabe Gabriel, Marillion isn't fun to listen to for me because of that. I haven't heard any Hogarth-era Marillion though. I voted "other" though, because I really have a problem with James LaBrie when he sings high notes, because when he does that, his otherwise good singing turns into an irritating wail, and I can't hear the words. I can put up with this though, and I enjoy some Dream Theater every now and then. I just wish he could sing as nice on Dream Theater albums as he does on Ayreon's The Human Equation.

I agree. He isn't much of a lead singer, but he's great at doing backing vocals.
