Love Beach is the 5 star masterpiece , Keith was obviously high on something to not recognise it at the time.

sarcasm? Confused
I honestly can't tell. Embarrassed

I'd like to hear the rationale of those two bleak souls who voted for Love Beach. Is it due to having a thing for chest hair and man nipples? LOL

When Keith Emerson stated the album was "an embarrassment against everything I've worked for," then perhaps you might question your discernment of music.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I bet it's Tarkus, though I'll be delighted if you say it's the debut. Wink

Brain Salad Surgery is my obvious choice here, but I do maintain that Love Beach isn't entirely as bad as some people make it out to be. There are serious duds on it of course (The Gambler being the biggest example imo), but most of the record is just decent, inoffensive pop rock with a few prog touches. Plus, some of the piano sections in the Memoirs suite are quite beautiful.

If anything, In the Hot Seat is the band's real rock bottom as far as I'm concerned Smile

Also, Brain Salad Surgery is not even my favorite ELP LOL
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Welcome back my friends to that show that never ends. Man both are legendary albums, but I got to go with BSS for now. That also is not BS, it is Beautiful Synthesizer Sounds.
