This Is My Order and Why
1. - Geddy Lee - Good Narrative Voice
2. - Jon Anderson - Great Celestial Voice
3. - Robert Plant - Just Banshee Screaming but OK

In terms of vocals, Anderson > Lee > Plant. However, I prefer Anderson's bassist bandmate over all of them in the same category.

They are all great singers, although different. Anderson is the most melodic of them all, while Plant is suited both to blues-rock and straight hard/heavy rock. However, my vote went to Lee, especially after I heard him live two years ago. He's an awesome vocalist and a very expressive one, who interprets Peart's lyrics perfectly. Now that he's adopted a lower register (in the '70s he could be a little hard to take after a while), he's become one of the very best. And what a bassist! |

plant, his singing in led zep's debut is great but it deteriorated a bit after that. ------------- is there anybody out there? |

Date Posted: May 09 2006 at 03:22
Fully agree, so my vote went to the incredible Mr. Lee as well.
That said, both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Plant are awesome singers as well. -------------

Plant was very good in his early years (1969-1975) , but after that his voice lost many of its skills.
I pick Jon Anderson. |

Jon Anderson, although my favourite prog singer is Greg Lake, despite his badly-aching voice. ------------- [IMG]http://www.belderrain.es/GIFs/tora.gif"> |

Although I love Plant, Anderson has a more unique voice. Not that Plant doesn't have unique voice, he definetly does! -------------

Each one has his own style and voice, so Anderson isnt better than Plant, Plant isnt better than Lee, Lee isnt better than Anderson....
All of them can reach high notes, and i love all of them...
My vote is for my favorite... still Jon Anderson ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

PLANT IS GOD!!!
I dont see how John Anderson is winning. IMO opinion this is shouldnt even be a contest. Plant has the more versatile voice; he can do bluesy, clean, rock n' roll, and he can scream like nobody's business.
The big thing is, HE'S STILL DOING IT! go and get Mighty Rearranger and you'll hear what I'm talking about. ------------- When the world is sick Can't no one be well But I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong

It's funny. With all my admiration towards Anderson's and Lee's vocals, I had to vote Plant to be honest - he actually sings better!!!! ------------- carefulwiththataxe |

John Anderson just makes singing sound so easy. He's never straining his voice to the extent of Plant and Lee. ------------- [IMG]http://www.highergroundmusic.com/i/artists/umforiste.gif"> |

| Anderson occasionally sings slightly flat, which can be a little unpleasant, and I find Geddy Lee's voice too "heliumy". So Plant it is, though for these kind of very high pitched voices, Cedric Bixler-Zavala is my god. |
Posted By: Kleynan
Date Posted: May 12 2006 at 20:12
Well, Anderson is still doing it too! In my opinion he sings just as good as he some 30 years ago. However, Plant has lost some of his magic over this span of years IMHO. -------------

It's Robert Plant, followed by Jon Anderson, although in Prog I'd have to say Peter Gabriel.
