but let that not detract from any of their first four studio albums. After 42 years I still can't tire of 'em. Right now I'm listening to their debut for maybe the 999th time, the piano is among the very best there is and, of course, Tank has the best drum solo of all time (Sorry Mr. Cobham). |
Always pleased to see Toccata listed. I still think its their most 'progressive' track. Carl commissioned someone to build a drum synthesizer and it was I believe it was the first of its kind.
For my teenage years those studio albums were my musical world. Such a great diversity of ideas they had everything

Just been listening to the live 'straight from boards' version of KE9 (complete with its 'sh*t over every living drummer' drum solo). How could you ever top this?! ELP couldn't and didn't although Pirates was a nice try. |
"Pirates" couldn't stick to the bottom of "KE9"'s shoe. 
Btw, nobody else has "Touch and Go" on their list? That's a great song! |
Post 1973 there aren't many great ELP tracks but Pirates is a very nice peice of symphonic prog nevertheless. It breezes along although there is lack of a climactic type ending to give it that extra bit of class. I like Touch and Go although my favourite tracks from ELPowell are Learning To Fly and Mars. (or did you mean the Manticore box set version with Palmer instead of Powell?)

To name but a few, but I could just go on for ages, what a fantastic, fantastic band, they always got way to much shtick.
