The idea is the same as the Gods Of Electric Guitar poll we had a few weeks back, but this time we will be selecting the Gods Of Rock Vocals ..   In this, the first round, you will select seven from

As a vocalist Geddy is polarizing as f**k. The main reason why many rock fans dislike Rush are his vocals, esp. during the 70's. I think he is a very good vocalist in terms of vocal abilities, but I t

Also this thread has made me realize how vastly I prefer McCartney as a singer to Lennon. Their voices are so similar but at the end of the day...Paul just seems a bit more capable.

That's more like it. A current top three of Plant, Mercury, and Dio. Sounds about right really (even though I didn't vote for Dio)

I'd say of the great lead singers listed, Elvis, Plant, Mercury, Morrison and Roth really embody the idea of a rock and roll front man.

Yeah...although I'd maybe add Mick, Bon, and Steven Tyler, but basically you're on the money.

I don't think "take for granted" is the right term for Geddy and his voice, but in putting this together, and going thru the other 100 or so names that didn't make the list, it struck me how much I love him and his voice ..

 

It is safe to say that, had I seen a Kiss / Rush double bill in the 70s, that would be my two all time favorite singers right there

Geddy is an acquired taste vocally, but if you're into him...he's incredible. The power, the passion, the early lack of self control. As my dad says, his voice with Neil's lyrics is where a lot more of the magic happened in the band than most people expect.

I’ve only had two favorite bands in my life: KISS then Rush.

Destroyer made me have Kiss as my #1.

Moving Pictures made me switch (at the ripe old age of 9) favorites...though I had already known Rush when I was 5.

"With a better singer (such as Freddie Mercury or Paul Rodgers) Rush could be one of the biggest bands

in the world".

 

Signed

Ray Daniels . :ph34r: :P

 

Oh don't get me wrong. I love everything about Geddy and his voice. Well up to "Counterparts." Then eh

 

Meh

 

Geddy was amazing until the end though live despite not sounding that good. He gave it his all until "The End."

 

Too bad Rush didn't play that song on R40 ;)
