I dunno. Sometimes MJK's voice sounds really cool, like in the soft, Arabesque parts of Lateralus, but I'm not always a fan of his when he starts screaming like in "Ticks and Leeches". For whatever reason, I honestly prefer LaBrie.

Though as I've probably stated already, Russell Allen is probably the "best of genre", with Mikael Akerfeldt close on his heels.

Devin Townsend- all the way- so surprised he does not have more votes- listen to "Terria"

Daniel Gildenlöw- no way- a bit overated- sounds too much like the dude from Faith no More- i mean- he's good- but not THAT good

I voted 'Other': Mike Baker, Shadow Gallery...I'm amazed he's not in the list.

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of Dream Theater, but Labrie's vocals live are an embarrassment; yes, I have the live albums, and yes, I've seen them a few times, too - the man couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!


I agree with all the LaBrie bashing. He really DOES suck. Sounds awfully strained at the high notes, has that awful breathy stuff going on in the ballads, haven't got the power for the metal tunes, and sounds generally emotionless when he sings. AND he's almost always about a quarter note too low when they play live. However, on Octavarium I must applause him a bit, too. He doesn't try to get as high as before, which gives a better overall impression, and he suddenly has got FEELING, which makes even the ballads a worthwile listening! He's still way behind Gildenlöw, though. That guy is for metal singing what Virgil Donati is for metal drumming.

James Labrie live.. well I agree, it's strained at times and a lot of breathing going on there.  It's a real pleasure to watch singers who never miss a note live, a that's why I voted for Geoff Tate!
Currently listening to:
- Andromeda
- Pagan's Mind
- Kamelot

I'd say Jorn Lande for his work with ARK. He pretty much covers everything ther, from Coverdale to Bjork....
It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

Woted for Mikel Akerfeld, but Allen, Gildenlow and LaBrie were very close. Where is Jorn Lande and Tom Edglund?

I voted for mr. Allen from Symphony X, very expressive, very powerful, lovely... But who i really consider the best voice in Prog Metal is Mike Patton (Fantomas), but he's not on the list...

I like some Fantomas and Mr. Bungle but I saw Tomahawk when they opened for Tool on the Lateralus tour and he was terrible.Practically got booed off the stage.
