treeduck Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 A lot of prog stuff requires talk-singing, especially in sections where the musical parts are minimized. Therefore a lot of prog singers are "talkers" more than singers. Peter Gabriel is a good example of a talker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Peter hammill, but almost anyone listed on here is really good. Perhaps this is a controversial choice but Maynard James Keenan kicks ass. Also, the only on the first album, Cedric Bixler Zavala from the Mars Volta. I love those wails and the emotion in his voice, the hectic stuff going on. On the other albums his voice goes through so many machines they should've become just an instrumental band although the lyrics are interesting Oh and when Mikael Akerfeldt is not growling (even though I like the growl and he's awesome at it) he has a lovely voice. And I have to mention Annie Haslam again, beautiful voice. Finally, pseudo-prog...Freddy Mercury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I can't believe I just did that... And In the Court was one of the reasons I listed Greg Lake in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm not going to take the time to look up the names of the singers, but the following 70's prog bands have singers with GREAT voices: Quebec: Harmonium Italy: PFM Le Orme Area Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso France: Ange That's just in addition to some of the GREAT singers already mentioned.

Hey, I wonder if Goobs likes Opeth sans growl...go check out the Heritage album by Opeth...it's part of a trio with Grace for Drowning and an upcoming album. It sounds like Anglagard at parts and there is great singing, no growls! Edited November 28, 2011 by Good,bad,andrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe well I love the vocals on the first album and I have to admit most of the others suck, especially on The Bedlam in Goliath...almost ruined the album for me.
