This place isn't quite the same without Matt's threads so I'll try my hand at one.
What is the worst vocal classic prog track ever? Or, perhaps, what is the worst vocal contribution to an otherwise decent prog track? What gives the cringe?
I excluded trance because where do you start.
This might well have been my favourite Swain & Snell track if it wasn't for the singing na na na na na na wrrrrrake up

Not sure how much this counts. Decent song ruined by a chopped up sample of a toddler talking.
Not sure if this counts either but I just can't get over the mangasm in this one...
In all complete honesty, I never minded the vocal mix of Perception, because I always thought the original was just an Xpander knock-off. Go ahead and ruin it, record label execs. See if I care!
I'm going to have to nominate this one, if only because the vocal, which is the sonic equivalent of being waterboarded with treacle, mars not only a variety of very decent remixes (Sasha, PVD, Mood II Swing, BT's own Blue Memory dub) but also a whole load of otherwise classic sets from the 97-98 era:
