David Gilmour, although it's close between him and Greg Lake (shouldn't he be in this poll?)
In all honesty, I think Freddie Mercury has the best voice, but there's no fun in clicking the other button, so...Gilmour it is!

Steve Hogarth has in my opinion a very ordinary voice that lacks any character. I wouldn't be able to tell it from a bunch of randomly selected voices.

Well, I agree that it isn't the most original voice, but IMO it's very distinctive and he sings quite well. Obviously, Fish does have more character.

My vote would go to Wyatt or Sinclair I think, two phenomenal voices.

  Why no Greg Lake. His vocals on epitaph and in teh wake of Poseidon would have to be amongst the best ever.

 Impossible to answer with a mere vote . Noone was as creative , variegated and emotive as Gabriel but he had some severe limitations and did put in some shockers such as Back In NYC. So my vote goes to Jon Anderson.
How wonderful to be so profound

hahahha... anger is a wasted emotion, why be angry when you can be happy... just an emotion to express my displeasure at his omission.

sort of surprised that Jon Anderson has so many votes (assuming they are valid hahahah) with all the grief he gets for being 'emotionless' and his vocal range. Not that I agree of course.. just a commen criticism.

Oh, I forgot one. Kevin Ayers' voice is so unique and original sounding, truly great and definitely one of my favorites.

A tie between Peter Hamil and Greg Lake.  But since Lake is not in this poll i will vote for Hamil.
