Prog Rock

The big gain, and Crimso's loss with the transition from Nice to ELP was Gregg Lake's voice, which was infinitely better than Lee Jackson's.

I preferred Lee Jackson. Never quite enjoyed Greg Lake’s voice

Egg - the band of that name - was stylistically related to The Nice, doing arrangements of "essential classics" in the Radio 3 sense and composing pastiches, but also to Soft Machine in making use of odd time signatures, composing wind ensemble pieces, and experimenting with keyboards, in their case early synthesisers. They had what was I believe near-chart inclusion in 1969 with"Seven Is a Jolly Good Time", based on it being in 7 to the bar, and devised eccentric album titles, such as "The Polite Force" and "The Civil Surface", belying the "no humour" ascription above - as would Robert Wyatt. I'd have to check personnel details but I think they sort of morphed into Hatfield and the North by way of one or two entrances and exits.

I still have a couple of Egg albums

Not a prog rock album but arguably a prog rock track...His Holy Modal Majesty by Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield.

To which could be added East West ( the track not the whole album ) by the Butterfield Blues Band

I used to go to work listening to those albums.

Honest. Always found him a bit cheesy. As RB has mentioned down thread, Bryan Ferry going ahead with Fripps offer would have been something very special. Those first three Roxy albums are an excellent compensation, though. Maybe the fourth, too.

Again you cannot be serious Ferry's voice is dreadful! For me he was always the down side of Roxy!

Stop trying to wind me up. It won't work.

I’d say Ferry set ( or helped develop) a vocal style that others followed for, well a decade or two.

Didn’t he? What would his vocal style influences be? Early Bolan ?
