I was born too late (and too early!) -- Thanks for all you have done, Peter, wherever you are..... Thank you.

Maynard Keenan, and it is the worst song he has ever sung- anything by Tool is amazing, but he could not pull it off as well as Greg Lake. Music has to touch you a certain way to sing it with the right heart and the full soul. I would kill to hear how Pete Sinfield would sing that song as I bet it would be better since he wrote it!

A lot comes with age for me..... I think Peter Sinfield is brilliant. Not just the lyrics and the art and the brilliance, but just everything. When I was young I did not like Steely Dan at all, and then I finally understood. Sometimes it is ok not to understand when you are not ready to! I heard a version of 21st century schizoid man as sung by the lead singer of "Tool"-

He can sing,no real bum notes ...it's just TOO British , if such a thing is possible ! VIVALDI would...?

Emotion, talent, fantastic musicians, lyrics that are unbelievable.Who cares that it's not the voice of the century? the spirit, the soul, the power of everybody who got something to say is enough. Plus the Invention,(base on classical lines) the mixture, the amazing sound ...What an amazing group of talents! They are inspired and they invented a sensible music.That is what art is all about not much artists (?) got that all those power combines! You who denies could you do half of that

If I'm not mistaken, that 'piano man' at 2:40 is Karl Jenkins. In fact I think I just saw in addition to Wetton and Collins from Crimson, but all the then current members of Soft Machine. Wow. What talent for such a piss poor song and vocals. Sorry Pete, I gotta call it like I hear it.

@misohai You are mistaken. The piano man at 2.40 is Phil Jump frantically & bravely mimicking the part that Keith Tippett played on the original track which apart from the piss poor vocals is what you are listening to. As for the song that Vivaldi never was much cop especially his guitar concerto in D which is the 'basis' for Seagoat..
