I'm putting in my vote for Geddy. I think he's an amazing vocalist, even if he has no testicles. His voice is unique, what can you say!

Tough choice out of Hammill & Lake but voted for Gabriel as John Wetton wasn't on there

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Not totally unique. He sounds very similar to David Surkamp of Pavlov's Dog and Burke Shelley of Budgie

I couldn't vote since my favourite wasn't included: Steve Hogarth.

Yeah, I thought a couple more could have been added. One that would have been nice to see was Annie Haslim.My favorite was on the list so...yeah!

My vote is for Hammill, but I think John Wetton is great too (In King Crimson, that is)

I went with Fish given these options. I agree with our crazy Dutchman about John Wetton though.

so very difficult but Jon Anderson's voice has reigned supreme for me closely followed by Peter Hammill closely followed by Gabriel and Fish and Lake.

I voted Gabriel.
I don't agree with people on John Wetton though, because I find he is very flat and his voice is yucky. meh...every man his own I guess...

Greg Lake has a pure English enunciation (sp?) that is perfect for the gravitas of prog rock.He could sing about bananas and make it worth listening to.Justin Hayward must be worthy of a mention as well.
