No feelings in their songs.
Do you dislike Yes aswell?
Complete BS of course. They have written some objectionable material, but no prog fan should be without Close To The Edge or Relayer. 'Nuff said.
"Close to the Edge" is really cheesy, dude; Siberian Khatru has a harpsichord solo, ffs
i consider side a of "The Yes Album" to be their best work. Starship Trooper is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Love it when people say the English spelling of a word is wrong and insist the correct one is American. I shall never, ever spell it as favorite...well, unless, for some reason I have to start working in America or something.

A-hem. The correct spelling is "favourite" according to my spelling checker.
Here we don't have a preference for British or American spellings of words - it's entirely at the discretion of the writer not the reader and is generally dictated by what brand of English you originally learnt. If someone spelt colour as color that would be fine by us, and so are those who like to say learned and spelled instead of learnt and spelt.
However I do believe that we should all adopt the spelling "Dream Theatrer" by way of a compromise.

Dude? And if you're to be taken literally about Bruford's last studio hurrah with the band, then "Hogwash!" And the preferred spelling is "favorite".

Yep, The Gods, with Ken Hensley (from memory). His bass on Schizoid Man is incredibly complex. He plays amazing lines. His successor, Pete Giles, was also very good. Natural talents I guess. I've played bass for some years and still can't nail Schizoid Man.........(I must be sh*t...... ).
It all sounds very convincing... except Lake played bass in The Gods (replacing John Glascock, who later played bass in Tull), I don't believe Lake ever recorded anything with The Gods, his tenure with the band was relatively short.
Prior to that was in Shy Limbs (with Andy McGulloch later of Crimson and Greenslade), where he also played bass, (guitar was John Dickenson), and on this b-side, Lake also sang lead:
...sounds just like Lake's style of bass playing to me (listen to the little bass-break 2:04).
Before the Shy Limbs he was in The Shame, also with John Dickenson and Andy McGulloch. (Shy Limbs and The Shame were most likely the same band with a name-change).
...I suspect that the history has become a little condensed and perhaps anachronistic. It is inevitable that artists and bands from the Poole/Bournemouth/Wimborne area of Southern England in the mid 60s would have know each other fairly well, Fripp didn't ask random musicians he met in London to join Crimson - he invited people he knew such as Lake and McGulloch, who like Fripp came from the Poole/Bournemouth/Wimborne area.
So what we are missing here is when Fripp "taught" Lake to play bass - everyone is assuming it is immediately prior to him joining Crimson, yet the evidence suggests otherwise as he was probably playing bass long before then. One possible scenario is that Fripp had seen Lake play in one of the local bands (probably The Shame) and advised him to switch from lead to bass, and possibly gave him some tips on how to play bass at the same time (which sounds like quite a Fripp thing to do).
