Good question!
Here are my favorites:
Peter Gabriel - One of my favorite vocalists of all-time, if not my #1 favorite! This guy has so much emotion in his voice, that even his most obscure lyrics have a very profound meaning and feel. Another thing about Peter is the way he can alter his voice to become the different characters portrayed in some of Genesis' songs. Just take 'Get 'Em Out By Friday' and 'Battle of Epping Forest' for instance. I definitely idolize this guy as a singer and a songwriter. He's absolutely brilliant!
Robert Wyatt - This former frontman of the Soft Machine, and also solo artist had quite a unique voice. Very unique, but nice and soothing at the same time.
Peter Hammil - Sometimes his voice gets on my nerves actually, but I do like his vocal style a lot. It reminds me of David Bowie's voice for some reason, but more intense.
Greg Lake - Awesome vocalist! His voice reminds me of John Lennon's in a way. Greg has more of a tenor voice though. I personally think he sounded better while he was with King Crimson. His voice was better suited for their music.
You might hate me for this, but I've got to disagree with you about Jon Anderson's voice. His voice is probably the primary reason why I can't stand Yes. The guy sounds like a fairy in my opinion. His voice gets on my nerves too easily.
