Thought some of Geddy's vocals on the first album sounded a lot like Robert Plant. In any case he had an amazingly high range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Alls I know about his voice is, without exception, every person I've ever encountered who didn't like Rush said that it was because of Geddy's voice. Not the sometimes contrived lyrics. Not the hard rock/heavy metal/progressive style of music. Not even the jerky drummer. Always the voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-517 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 How could anyone forget "Cat being chased out a door with a blow-torch up its butt"?! Just for clarification, I myself am not making fun of Geddy. I'm actually someone who wholeheartedly prefers Ged's mid-seventies vocals over the mid-eighties vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I love Geddy's voice in every era of their music. It always seems to fit perfectly with whatever song I am listening to. The only time it sounds "so-so" is when he is trying to reproduce his vocals from 30 or 40 years ago. I have always thought his voice was awesome and "fit" in every new release they ever put out from "Finding My Way" to "The Garden". I think he turned out to be a great tenor.

Steve Smith Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 And all of their songs are about elves and spaceships! Perhaps Rush could write a ballad in D minor with just simple lines and melody, perhaps the saddest key of all, and call it "Lick my love pump" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood that classification to be honest. His voice is more like a "Castrato" (Scary process where boys would be castrated at birth and spend their lives being trained to sing very high) the difference between the "Castrato" and a female Soprano was that the male had a much more pure and powerful voice but with the same range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
