He's probably my favorite singer so maybe I'm a bit biased. I think his voice is great and no one else sounds like him. His lyrics though often sound like they are from another planet. I think the point was for them to often have more of a poetic flow than to make sense in an immediately understandable way.

His voice is OK and one of the archetypical voices in progressive rock. No problem whatsoever. His lyrics are a completely different story: they remind me of a letter, sent by my aunt from California near the end of 2001. She emigrated back in 1957 and always lacked mastery of English spelling. So she writes words with different meanings and this makes it hard to reconstruct what she wants to say. It seems that something similar is the case with Jon Anderson's lyrics. The difference is that it took me only three days to decipher my aunt's letter instead of more than a lifetime.
