Hola amigos progressivos as I was writing a quote on the
repond of a subject this great topic came to mind!! What singer’s voice from the 70’s had got better? Worst so bad that you feel sorry for their ass, or it is still as good. Here is my list: Better or it is still as good. Phil Collins ( AS GOOD) Peter Gabriel (BETTER) Geddy Lee ( BETTER) Roger water ( AS GOOD) John wetton ( AS GOOD) John Anderson ( AS GOOD) Ozzy Osborne ( AS GOOD) Annie haslam (renaissance) ( AS GOOD) Daevid Allen (AS GOOD) Rick Davies (AS GOOD) Roger Hodgson (supertramp) (AS GOOD Roger Daltrey ( AS GOOD) Kerry Minnear (AS GOOD) Frank zappa ( He really was never a real singer ,but i enyoy his goofing around stuff . the man was a genius. ...) BAD !!!!! I feel sorry for their asses: David Gilmour(( the studio’s stuffs he ok, but live stuff he is really bad!!!) Steve Walsh (Kansas) ( early Kansas I really enyoy alot specially the live stuff, but now steve sounds totally different which made me stop enyoing Kansas. I feel so bad when he tries to sing Dust in the wind he should not do that to that beautiful song maybe kansas should invite James LaBrie or Russell Allen (symphony x) to sing the song .) Iam Anderson (like David 's studio stuff he is ok, but live's stuff he sounds tired and old) Robert plant (he has to retire can somebody tell him that ) Greg lake (the worst from the list. he used to sing like an angel. now he sings like van morrison or the guys from the beach boys) Richard Right (he is too old to be singing another one that has to stay in retirement) Steve Howe (he has been a good singer in the 70 he was ok ,but thank God he was never the lead vocalist of YES oh God !!) Ax Genrich (guru guru) (this guy was really bad thanks God they were a jam band as well as early FOCUS which is one of my fav of all time) Robert Wyatt (poor man he can’t sing at all) Elton John (this guy is not prog but I love his voice, but now I feel sorry for his ass. SHOW ME YOUR LIST THE END!!! GRACIAS AMIGOS PROGRESSIVOS |

Jon Anderson - BETTER: powerful yet smooth Greg Lake - Much, much worse John Wetton - same, perhaps a little strained Peter Gabriel - same quality, but different singing style Phil Collins - who knows? hasn't recorded a decent song in almost 20 years ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

Given that some of these guys sing in fairly high keys, it's probably natural for them to lose the top end of their range as they get older - Greg Lake certainly has. In Geddy Lee's case this may be an improvement for some people. Having recently bought Yes' Songs from Tsongas, I'm amazed that Jon Anderson can still hit his top notes without struggling. |

I can't really judge many of these singers, as I'm not familiar with their more recent output - but I'd like to have my say on the ones I know better. The Good: Phil Collins ( AS GOOD) He was very good when Gabriel left and up to the early '80 - now I just want to forget about what he does!
