Haven't heard Howe's solo work.

I like The Nice and some of ELP. Not happy with Emerson's propensity to
lift stuff from other artists and not give them credit for it. He gives
credit for some of his classical-based work, but not for one of the
extended synthesizer solos on Welcome Back My Friend. Or maybe I'm the
only person in the world who has Dick Hyman's LP Moog, with "The
Minotaur" on it ...
