Hmmm... Why these two?
When it comes to vocalists in prog, but also in general, I look for a mix of skill/technique and emotion. Fish (before he left Marillon), Peter Gabriel, Mike Baker and Daniel Gildenlöw are the best four when it comes to that. And Freddie Mercury if you take into account Prog Related... Edit: I'm a long time Rush-fan but Geddy has never been the best vocalist, he wouldn't fit anywhere but with Rush when it comes to vocals. Edited by Angelo - September 20 2015 at 09:42 |

The best of the best? Foreigner singer:
Yugo-prog singer: Boris Aranđelović, a perfect singer of a perfect Yugo-prog group Smak, at 27.08.2015, moved to eternity. This Progressive blues song (what is so rarely in Prog in general) titled Blues u Parku (''Blues in the Park'') (1975) is just one part of a number of songs that have made him immortal in Prog Land.

I can't choose one for the "BEST". There are many Prog styles BUT IMO : Peter Gabriel , Fish (Marillion era) , Jon Anderson (as you said) , Roger Waters , Ian Anderson , Frank Zappa ,...

Well, I understand that not singing in English may be seen as a handicap to some, but I feel the need to give a shout out to some of the outstanding Italian vocalists of the Seventies: first and foremost, Francesco Di Giacomo and Demetrio Stratos (both RIP forever and ever), then Lino Vairetti of Osanna and Alvaro Fella of Jumbo.

Quite a few great Spanish singers, too, like Jesus de la Rosa of Triana. |

Classic period: Peter Gabriel > Jon Anderson > Greg Lake. Best acquired taste: Peter Hammill
Modern period: David Longdon / Ross Jennings / Phil Naro Edit: Honorable mention to David Gilmour. His vocals have improved during the years. And though his last album is far from brilliant, at least he does not sound like a man who approaches his 70's.

Back in English-speaking territory, I'll mention two of my favourites from the Seventies: Richard Sinclair (Caravan, Hatfield and the North) and Jacqui McShee (Pentangle). And the divine Kate Bush, of course!
As to the modern scene, lots of ladies deserving a mention. One for all: Moorea Dickason of MoeTar, a jazz-trained singer with an awesome set of pipes, and one of the nicest people on earth  . |

Greg Lake and Justin Hayward run laps around pretty much anyone else out there for pure vocal ability and are the two 'prog' vocalists you will find, and high up there, on any respectable list of great vocalists, prog or not.
