Here is The Fizz (most of Buck's Fizz but they lost rights to the original name) working with Rick Wakeman:

I see he features in the video playing stretch grand piano at 2:03.

Terrible, terrible song.

Yes that was painful.

Yes, pretty awful.

First things first: he's no Rael (from this parish)!

Actually seeing the thread title, I thought it was a Rael thread, but surprised, because I thought he'd already done a Luv Bitch rockumentary (he has, hasn't he?)

I was a bit taken aback about the major backlash Sinfield is getting by this dude... He (PS) was only a hired hand, though used to putting words in Greg's mouth, and surely he's received some kind of instruction about what was expected of him.
Don't get me wrong, outside the first four Crimson albums, I'm not exactly a fan of what he's done in rock - though I did find his website Songsoup (or sumthin' of the ilk) interesting back in 07/08.

But nothing beyond that (I recently relistened to Still on YT, and it's OK, but no more). But the hatred is too much.

'Canario' is easily the best thing on here, but it's nothing new for them really. There's a very mawkish quality to 'Memoirs...' for my taste, particularly on Sinfield's part. I'm not a big fan.

With 'Pirates', I do increasingly find that doesn't hold up quite as well for me as their earlier work.

That's more or less what I think of LB and Pirates. Nothing worth saving (I only own their first three albums nowadays, and I'll probably never spin them again)

[*]If Sinfield's lyric were that bad, and they are, was Greg Lake so checked out that he didn't care?

That's a bit the point I don't get about the backlash. Unless they really didn't speak to him about directions to take, Peter's "bad" lyrics must've suited Greg (he sang them after all, didn't he?)

What seems to be overlooked in this conversation is IMO, ELPowell returned to the classic form with that album in '86. I really wish they could have done at least one more album with that line up.

Well ELPowell was OK (especially for the year it came out), but I'm not sure doing a second album would've been a good idea.
Best left as a one-shot, IMHO.
And I never could stand To The Power of Three. Never impressed enough to bring anything back home from ELP's 80's era either.

I can't hate on Sinfield, I mean some of his lyrics are part and parcel to the entire prog movement, also I kinda love the idea that the music industry was once at a point where a guy like this could somehow get his own solo album. hes just really bad when writing about women.
