Wetton 1st for my fave Crimson era, then Lake (a close 2nd), then Belew.Smile

Haskell's voice was interesting, too -- I really like his unique vox on "Lizard" (and the album in general).Thumbs Up

But Wetton on tracks like "Exiles" and "The Night Watch" really does it for me.Cool

A difficult choice - but John Wetton gets my vote for his vox on "Starless". Greg Lake a whisker away for vox on "I talk to the Wind".

Belew, with lake close behind. Then Wetton, Haskell, then Boz

It was a close call for Lake and Wetton for me, but in the end, I have to go with Wetton. You just can't overlook his singing on Starless especially. Lake is a close second, or a second first, whichever way you want to view it...

For me it came down to Belew or Lake, and I went with Lake.
