I haven't listened to Genesis or Rush (yeah I know, not a fan of both bands vocals but I might give them a chance some day) but the other's are on my top 5 as well. I'm not sure what I would complete it with... The Whirlwind and Deadwing maybe.

It is absolute blasphemy that you don't like Peter Gabriel's voice.  But ignoring those first five albums with Gabriel, how do you not like Phil's voice?  The man has the most unoffensive voice in the universe.

Haven't tried Phil era Genesis... about Peter Gabriel, I just have something with older vocals, but I definitely want to give them a chance because I've only heard good things about them.

You definitely should.  Even if you don't like old-timey Genesis you should delve into his solo stuff.

^ That second part


I don't even listen to Genesis at all, but I love me some Up (and some of his other solo work as well)
