Don't know the Greg Lake but of the others my favourite is Defector. Journey also good depending which version you listen to.

Some good songs on that Greg Lake debut ft Gary Moore , Ted McKenna, Tristram Margetts and Tommy Egan especially..
It Hurts
Nuclear Attack
Retribution Drive
For Those Who Dare
The second album was weak and more AOR in style aimed at the USA and after that Greg Lake pretty much gave up on any idea of having a proper solo career, first going back to ELP and then a few later nostalgia solo tours , but that was it.

Roger Waters with Jon Anderson as a good second.

Roger Waters by a pretty wide margin.

Well it's actually Andersen for Hans, but other than that I agree. Olias is an absolute classic, it's Hans down the winner for me.

Don't have the Greg Lake, but it's Wakeman. A mini adventure that warrants a revisiting now and again.

Lake was actually slated to open for (brace yourself) Michael Bolton in San Diego back in the '80s, but I believe he dropped out of that.

I'm voting for Defector simply because it's a flawless album.

My first thought was to vote for Journey to the Centre of the Earth (original 1974 version), which is almost flawless, but with a few rough edges. But then again, it's those rough edges that sometimes make the album!
