This is a difficult question as Lake was the first Vocalist in the band and he sang in the legendary In the Court of the King Crimson, but then Robert Fripp reformed the band soon after.

| Difficult. Greg Lake has (or had) the better voice, but in the context of Crimson producing the dark, sinister music it did during 73-74 it has to be Wetton |

Lake only because we're on the subject of whose voice fit KC's sound
better. I believe that Lake was an excellent choice for ITCOTCK and
ITWOP.
