Interesting list. Phil Collins just above Peter Gabriel? Now that’s a bit controversial.
Maybe on drums.

Anderson is the greatest prog vocalist, because he was the SOUND of Yes

I tend to agree with that
However, even I find it hard to consider the wonderful Maddy Prior a prog vocalist
Of the women, I would say Sonja is the most prog [Sally Oldfield....??!!]
Also, Ike Willis is an interesting inclusion....

Absolutely. Top 5 for this list, definitely. She had a wonderful voice and was a terrific performer as well.
Good songwriter, too.

Nonsense list as expected> I would have thought Ian Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Jon Anderson were top picks.

I’m with you on this. I’m sure Jon would be a more popular answer than their #1.

Should be Peter Gabriel but I'm guessing
Greg Lake?
Female it is Annie Haslam?

Can't argue with #1. Gabriel was shafted, but can see by the writers comments he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Nice to see Kate and Annie in the top 10.
Nice they listed Sonja but her and Steve Hogarth should be higher
