THE greatest band ever? Perhaps? Personally I go on binges, sometimes my prog listening takes me to VDGG, or perhaps even Spring and Caravan, most often Yes (the SECOND greatest band ever?), PMF, Le Orme & the stellar Italian scene, yet often I binge and purge on ELP to the point of near insanity...... S/T, TARKUS, Trilogy, Brain Salad Surgery - all exception. The live records, Pictures and Welcome, also as good! Got no problem with Works either....... a spinning piano? Greg Lake? Keith Emerson? Carl Palmer? Truly this is rock and roll....... if I was able to build a time machine and go back and follow them around like the Dead.......

Fucking Tarkus man. Perchance if I had twenty minutes to live I'd spend that time listening to that one epic track..... perchance I wouldn't as I'd spend my final moments with my wife and she loathes ELP...... you can't fault her for this though, many have yet to grasp just how epic this band is. I myself felt so overwhelmed upon hearing Brain Salad Surgery - flawless album, yet now I know they're capable of so much more.......

Watcher, I admire your spirit. I've just started dipping my toes in the prog/synth pool, will give ELP some time in the future. BTW, I never knew what your signature pic was, just downloaded "Inventions for Electric Guitar" a while ago, havn't listened to the whole thing yet, seems cool though...

What do you expect from this bloke? He thinks punk embraces bands that are fucking not.

Excellent news!! Truth be told, it took me longer to recognize the greatness of ELP than any other prog band - I took to bands like Trettargia Kriget, Le Orme, Van Der Graaf Generator like a fish to water...... but ELP was a different story, and then all of a sudden it hit me - everyone who bitches about their excess is wrong. Bands need to wear capes and kimonos, and have floating pianos and have drums that are so heavy they need to be assembled by a crane, etc. That's what rock and roll should be about, not some smelly show in a mouse ridden basement with some shitty freegans serving moldy potatoes........ Honestly do yourself a favour and listen to Tarkus - just the song, the rest of the album is a little harder to enjoy for not-yet-converts. you'll be happy you did!!!

Are you still on about that Napalm Death discussion that happened months ago? Bro, your scope of punk is incredibly narrow...... punk is supposed to be about non-conformity. Punk isn't even good most of the time anyway - it's Pennywise and fucking Avril Lavigne and Crass, all of which blow - I was actually doing Napalm Death a disservice....... see that's why prog rock is better - is embraces things like stabbing a hammond organ with a knife, or covering Pictures At An Exhibition.......

Ahh, nice to see a thread about em!

I've digged em since I was like 12-13.
Carl Palmer has inspired me and my drumming a lot aswell.

Tarkus has to be the most beautiful albumcover ever made?

Crass? You llump Crass with Avril and Pennywise?

Punk is a nostalgia trip. Punk rapidly became a conformity trip all its own. That said, these women fucking kill it

Certainly they were a loud outfit live for just three pieces. Also a talented trio. Yes was probably more popular back in the day but for my money I thought ELP was the better band.

I completely agree!!! I'm thinking of buying one of those record frames for gatefold LPs and framing my copy along with Nursry Crime!! I think when I buy a house I'm going to have a room devoted to the seventies, shag carpeting, one of those chairs that looks like a hollowed out egg, and a hi-fi....... Nothing else!!!
