Progressive vocalists

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I'd have to agree that a good prog vocalist seems to be the hardest postion to fill in bands. That's why I generally prefer instrumentals, and those handful of vocalists that actually add to the music. After that, I like those vocalists that don't stand out, but at least don't detract from the music. I don't know how often I've heard a piece of music, really enjoying it, then the vocals kick in and I'm hitting the "next track" button...
the great ones: Lake, Gabriel, Anderson, Gilmour, Glenn Hughes from Iluvatar (I don't care if he sounds like Collins), what's his name from Citizen Cain, Fish from Marillion, Francesco from Banco, PFM's lead vocalist; wow, that's a bigger handful than I thought. And I'm sure I missed a few.
