Peter Hammill sounds like he has asthma, I can almost hear the snot in his throat and nose when he sings. Way overrated IMO! Same goes with Gabriel.

As for prog, I would go with just about anything Annie Haslam has done. As for non-prog, give me Chris Isaak anyday. What a range! His music maybe syrupy and simplistic, but he can really belt a song out!

You have only heard one half of Hammill then. Listen to an album like "Fireships". Where is the snot there?

If you're talking about later Hammill throat exercises, no I have to say I haven't heard any of his later work. And I can imagine his voice like Gabriel's got more more seasoned, dryer and robust. But in the 70's both of those vocalists just got on my nerves. Same with Gentle Giant, music was great but the vocals just irritated the hell out of me.

As much as I love Ian Gillan and "Child in Time", I chose Other. There many other vocal performances that I love (I even opened a thread on the subject once Wink). To mention just two, I'd say Greg Lake on "Epitaph" and Richard Sinclair on "Winter Wine".

The greatest vocal performance ever is... whenever I sing in the shower.
