The Owl Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 This is hard.... I love Greg Lake on the first 2 albums, but I am still going with John Wetton......... Those 3 albums are amazing....... I need more Adrian Belew era KFC.. all I have is Discipline, and Three of a Perfect Pair.. I do not like Haskell's vocals on Lizard, and was easily outshone by the guest vocalist on that album and it's title track in the form of Yes's Jon Anderson. I have not listened to "Islands" and most of the time I as about it, I get recommended to stay away from that album and Burrell's vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In A Tidewater Surge Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Wetton, Lake comes close but I love the way the vocals sound when Wetton was singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Greg Lake simply because he has one of the best voices ever. I wonder if some people are voting based on the albums instead of the vocalist. If I were to do that I would vote for Gordon Haskell just because Lizard is my absolutely favorite KFC album, but clearly Greg Lake is a far better vocalist.

LaVillaStranLerxst Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Tough choice, I'd say Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's quite a polly night on the Rush Forum. Nice. Lake is great but I had to go with John Wetton. Sorry but I was trapped inside "The Heat Of The Moment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get The Power to Believe, is one of the best Belew albums. QUOTE I have not listened to "Islands" and most of the time I as about it, I get recommended to stay away from that album and Burrell's vocals. It's one of my favourite albums, and you're missing out on that one. But it gets a lot of flack for being romantic and super-mellow (just one heavy track on it). Anyway, Burrell's vocals are great IMHO, listen to The Letters. It's a tough choice. I'd give my preference to Wetton, but he kinda sold out later. Lake is great but turned soon into a lazy snob. Burrel went to Bad Company and Belew... don't like him so much. Well, Wetton it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I went with Wetton. Though Belew fit them perfectly for that 80s sound..and i love Belews quirky voice..his solo stuff is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush! Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I choose John Wetton as well... Although I do enjoy Haskell's voice quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake2112 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I love Greg Lake, John Wetton and Adrian Belew, but some of Belew's stuff I can't get into, and I absolutely adore the first two albums. Greg Lake it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Wetton by an inch over Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacement Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 13 2010, 10:09 PM) I wonder if some people are voting based on the albums instead of the vocalist. I almost went that route because I love the Wetton/Bruford era of KC. But then looked beyond and I enjoy Lake over Wetton outside of KC. So Lake got my vote.
