Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Thom Yorke both have very emotional voices. The first probably has the more powerful voice, the second, the more soulful. But I like high voices in music

Jeff Buckley!  He reallly challenges himself. And he has also inspired alot of singers with his high-pitched voice, including Matt Bellamy.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

Yeah! Cedric is one of the best singers I have heard in years. Now that's SOUL!

I agree very few prog vocalists put forth much emotion.
A few in the archives that I think have lots of emotion: Kate Bush, Maynard James Keenan, Peter Gabriel, and everyone in Pink Floyd.

Maybe, but I'm having a hard time rationalizing Bryan Ferry and Steve Walsh in the same thread.

I agree with you. Although Cedric's voice, like Geddy Lee's and high-pitched voices in general, may not be to everyone's taste, I find him one hell of a singer. His vocal style complements TMV's music perfectly. I have to admit I was a little bit puzzled myself when I saw Bryan Ferry mentioned in this thread...  I like his singing style, as I like Roxy Music, but I wouldn't really call him a "soulful" singer.

Thanks Ghostrider, I will try check out James Litherland from Colosseum. Another great one is Ian Gillan "When a blind man cries"
I was also just wondering about the reason why Kansas isnīt that popular with a lot of serious Prog fans and maybe it could be because of this "singing from the gut" type of style that Steve Walsh has. Just a thought. |
Glad to see James Litherland mentioned, surely one of the most soulful singers.

Not trying to start a fight, but for me Thom Yorke's voice is kind of dull. It fits the style of the band and its nice like that because I don't want a screaming Yorke in a soft Radiohead. Now the singer of Muse (can't remember his name) sounds alot like Yorke but sings more passionetly. Check them out.

Agreed, thom Yorke's voice isn't to everybody's taste. it's quite downbeat and depressing, without a lot of energy most of the time. However, it's this understatedness, this quiet desperation (to borrow from Floyd ), that gives his voice so much soul. To me, Thom Yorke sound like he's singing straight from the heart, while Mark Bellamy, while being more dynamic and passionate in his vocals, doesn't have the same quality. I really get the feeling that there's something behind Thom Yorke's voice. Feel free to disagree, though, just my gut reaction

Sorry but vocalists like Yorke, Ferry and Hogarth just donīt have the power if we are comparing to Steve Walsh. Sure Fish has the emotion but doesnīt really belt it out.
