I have heard a version of Cadence and Cascade with Lake on vocals (a demo, I think), and it does sound much better. I guess it would have been the same for Lady of the dancing water. |

^Really don´t think vocals in those songs are crap, although Haskell is my least favourite Crimson-vocalists. And anyway they´re one of my favourite Crimson songs, only little weaker song in Lizard is "Lady Of the Dancing Water" (I believe it would have been greater with for example Lake-vocals).

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Lizard is. There's so much to recommend it whereas 'Friends has some dead spots to these ears.

Both are good records, but I prefer Lizard.

There's a Mexican restaurant near me called Los Tres Amigos. I got rather poor service there.

Love them both but Lizard has Jon Anderson on it so that's where my vote landed.

I feel the same way...it was always one of my least favorites from then and I don't own a copy currently..... I think someone said earlier in this thread that Schooldays from 3 Friends was one of their greatest songs . Again it shows how subjective this whole musical selection thingy really is.
