Sorry... I've always found Fripp's choices of vocalists...wanting. If Red and its predecessors were purely instrumental, I'd have them on regular rotation.

To rub it in, a buddy of mine worked a progressive rock festival in the late '90s. Wetton was on the bill. He was, according to my friend, unpleasantly full of himself.

Honestly, I haven't paid much attention to his bass work. But no matter, because I can't disagree that the ensemble that was Fripp/Bruford/Wetton was well above the norm.

I just want to have the fact that the Vocalists that Fripp has collaborated with has never been an issue for me to take up some space in the Comments.
It's also my Theory that Brontosauruses were thin on one end, much much thicker in the middle, & thin again on the other end. Actually it's not *my* Theory but ...well, there it is anyway.
