| I just have to go with John Wetton even though I like Geddy Lee's playing better. Wetton has a power to his voice and great pitch. He has proven himself good in hard rock, prog, and pop. I've always liked Greg Lake's guitar playing better. |

I voted for Greg Lake because the question is : Bass / Singers --> Wetton, Lake or Lee Greg Lake is one of my favorist vocalist and he's a great bass player. As a singer/bass player, he's my favorite. If it was only for bass skills, my vote would have gone for either Lee or Wetton. -------------  
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

Three greats, certainly, but Geddy Lee gets the nod for great singing and amazing bass work--neither Lake nor Wetton can touch him as a bassist. Plus he's dorky looking and has an enormous nose. Both Lake and Wetton were pretty-boys in their day, so I'm voting for the dork. ------------- Visit www.guitargarden.net for the latest Guitar Garden releases and free MP3s. |

Greg Lake.. the sweatest voice of all of them and as a bassist... as good as any of them.. just overshadowed by two overbearing and incredible musical talents... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Wetton's bass playing with Crimson was fantastic, powerful, strange, and
dark. I love every second of those three albums. Wetton's voice was PERFECT for those albums as well. I don't regret any of his "raw" sounding vocals. They make the albums what they were. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

OK - out of these three, Lake is the strongest vocalist, though the (relatively) weakest bass player. Wetton is a great bassist, but vocally is not my favourite, though I don't dislike him (only on LTiA!). So, I went with Geddy, who's great at both - even if there are lots of people around here who hate his vocals. However, if you want someone who's got both a stunning voice and amazing four-string skills, I'd recommend Mr Richard Sinclair, one of the great unsung heroes of prog. |

Geddy, followed by Greg Lake. But all three of them are great. Geddy is an acquired taste, but once you're into it, he's just fantastic. ------------- Human beings were created by water to carry it uphill. |

Geddy's bass playing is untouchable to Lake or Wetton but Lakes voice is my favorite. Lee in the long run. |

Forgot to include an "Other" category...
Jeff Berlin for playing, or Percy Jones (Brand X)...For combined singer/bass player, maybe Jack Bruce (he did release some "proggish" solo material & others on this board have classified Cream as "prog"...I don't)
