Lark's tongue in Aspic pt1, Fracture and Lark's To,gue Pt 2 
Wetton is anything but a good singer.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Whats with everyone hating on Asia? I believe it was John's second best performance, just short of King Crimson.

As regards KC, anything on Red, but mostly "The Great Deceiver" - not melodic by any means, but an extremely expressive performance. As to LTiA, Wetton's vocals are the reason why I knocked a star off one of my all-time favourite albums.. Enough said!  As to UK, I am particularly fond of "Rendezvous 6:02", which I find Wetton tackles way better than "Book of Saturdays" or "Exiles". About Asia, the less said, the better  ... However, any Wetton fans should check his performance on Steve Hackett's The Tokyo Tapes, where John sings the likes of "Watcher of the Skies" and "Firth of Fifth" with surprisingly good results - as well as his guest appearances on the Pink Floyd tribute album Back Against the Wall, where he masterfully interprets "Mother" and "Hey You".

Don't like Asia, and nothing on the UK albums has really ever inspired me to take too much notice,so it would have to be between "Fallen Angel," or "One More Red Nightmare."

Probably "Starless", but I need to hear more songs where Wetton sings. Still is a MONSTER bass player though.

While its not prog, but still Asia-like, JW's and Geoff Downes' second album, ICON II Rubicon, has some of John's best vocals.

Oh crap. Anything off Red...some stuff off Larks. I suck at this, don't I?
Wetton might be my favorite Crimso singster. And that's saying a bit. 'Cause I loves my Lake and my Belew.

Wow, hard to narrow it down with such a great vocalist.
1. Battlelines-The whole album showcases what he can do
2. Asis- Again, the vocals are just perfect for him.
3. Later Crimson stuff.

I think The Night Watch and maybe Lament. Basically any of the tracks on Starless and Bible Black.
