Yeah, I can see that. I like his voice but when I first started listening to them, my then-girlfriend called them ick because she thought he was an awful singer. To be fair, the only album I had was that early live album and his voice was not nearly as strong or confident as it later became.
And if you are going to mention Happy Rhodes and Kate Bush, then you also have to mention Jane Siberry.And if you are going to mention Happy Rhodes then you also have to mention Kate Bush.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Good call on Annisette. I know some who absolutely hate her voice, but I think she's cool, and a defining feature of Savage Rose's sound that set them apart.

I find so many Prog vocalists great, so I don't know where to start and where to end, but not least Italian, and when you're saying "most unique", that makes me think of Magma and Area.
The best vocal performance of unique quality during the 70s.:
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
I know many here don't like her voice, but I still love Annette Peacock's singing on Bill Bruford's Feels Good To Me!
Or the more accessible 'The Perfect Release' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DUuuIqqxXo

Another very unique Prog vocalist has definitely been the Polish Czeslaw Niemen.
I also liked her singing on that album. Based on that, and on her various jazz compositions as performed by Paul Bley among others, I decided to explore her solo work with her first couple of solo releases. Frankly I find most of it all but unlistenable. Maybe it's just me, but I have a low tolerance for straight blues-rock sung in a harsh, overly loud and untuneful voice. Not what I was hoping for. I wanted more stuff like "Seems like a Lifetime Ago" but I guess I have to give Bruford the credit for the brilliance of that material.
(And I'm a big fan of Dagmar and Björk, so I'm no stranger to odd female voices.)
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
