Obviously I had to skip a day or so, but continuing the picks for the individual members of ELP is Greg Lake. He's got probably the biggest "hit" out of the three with his Christmas song, but all are virtuoso's in their own right. His voice is so distinctive, whether it's solo or in ELP or in King Crimson, you can recognize it immediately. Less people talk about his superlative bass playing, but he is a master. This is the one place where there is a double, btw, between Palmer and Lake I had to use Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, pt. 2 for both guys. As you listen, you will understand why it is a highlight for both artists. A different Impression is best for Emerson however. Anyway, make sure you leave a comment on the tracks you think best exemplify Lake, but enjoy my pick nonetheless.
