the top 3 are so obvious that... it would figure I'd be the only one to name them

1. Greg Lake
2. Justin Haywood
3. Demitrio Stratos

the next 2.. hmmm...

4. Richard Sinclair....  perhaps next to David Sylvian the only vocalist that could sing the yellow pages and make it an essential listening experience...

5. Ian Gilliam... oh the range and pipes he once had. NONE better for what he was..

Greg Lake and Justin Haywood above Demetrio Stratos? Really? 

Also there are definitely other people listing those first two.

Perhaps you should make your own website. Call it something like "narrowmindedarchives.com".
