    Good band that, tho their lone album was mired by production now terribly dated.

    Greg Lake for me and I am not even a huge Crimson or ELP fan. Honorable mention to Ray Wilson who I think is hugely under-rated as a singer. And I will give a big shout to Colin Bass who has provided great vocals for Camel for over 30 years and still has his chops as they say.

    Phil Collins. I always thought he had a better vocal range than Gabriel.

    It's interesting how many of these top prog rock singers had similar, classically Anglo-sounding voices: Lake, Gabriel, Wetton and Fish (of Marillion).

    For range and technique - Maybe Thijs Van Leer out of Focus with the yodel and the crazy range (three plus octaves? four?)

    For purity of clarity of tone and sheer pop charm - Greg Lake

    As the vocal representative of the entire genre - Jon Anderson
