Lake organized a new band with ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore on lead guitar, Rory Gallagher alumnus Ted McKenna on drums, and ex-Joe Cocker/Gerry Rafferty keyboard player Tommy Eyre, and recorded Lake's first solo album, Greg Lake (1981).

With capable Keith Emerson at the controls of the Moog synthesizer and the Hammond B3 organ, Greg Lake on guitar and vocals, and talented Carl Palmer on drums, the debut release leaned heavily toward a new technical wizardry that became the band's halmark.
Around 1970, the supergroup Emerson, Lake, and Palmer was formed, which combined Nice's Keith Emerson's Amazing technical wizardry with the keyboard and the Moog Synthesizer, King Crimson's Singer/Guitarist Greg Lake, and Drummer Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster.
Overall, 'Emerson, Lake, and Palmer' is a dominated by the piano, and Emerson seems to be the entire focus of the album, while Palmer and Lake seem to be left in the cold.
