John's voice is beautiful, colorful and extremely powerful, and I daresay he was the best singer in Heep if we consider power, range, flexibility as well as some other components. However there's only one David Byron. As I said earlier, he was special - and he was one of those who formed the band.
> P.S. To Don's remarks about Mick Box' place in Heep' history I will answer with Mr. Hensley's words which in my opinion more than shed a light on why Mr.Box was a bit behind overall during the classical period: "When we'd get to studio to record another album, I usually had 8 songs, David had a couple, Mick had... ideas..." In my opinion, that sums it up: that band was about songs, and only since it had become more customized hard rocking unit with Mick Box at helm, he finally got himself more space in the mix.
