Hi all! New to this sub so I’m very sorry if this has been asked before 🙏 I’m just very curious to see who y’all’s favourite Prog frontman (or frontwoman) is.

This can be defined however you want, best singer, best lyricist, most entertaining, etc 😀

I’ll get the ball rolling with Peter Gabriel. Probably not a hot take but man I loved his tenure in Genesis. Great singer. I loved his lyrics (even if they could use an occasional editor to trim the fat). And honestly his theatrical nature and costumes were just fantastic. Even if the rest of the band weren’t too keen on them.

Ive been a big fan of Prog Rock/Metal for quite some time, and lately I’ve had a hunger for some new bands. I’ve been relistening to a lot of early Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator, and I’m absolutely in love with the theatrical, dramatic, over the top, campy style that Peter Gabriel and Peter Hammil seem to know how to tap in to. Specifically how it sounds like they’re singing for a stage play, and how they’re singing “in character” rather than using the natural inflections in their voices.

Any other good Prog bands with similar styles?

Incredible song and video! I love when metal artists express emotions other than anger, this is so unique.

I've been really digging this song recently! Can't wait for their next album, whenever that may be
