Sadly, none of those nine bands you mentioned are even close to breaking into the Top 20 any time soon. Unhappy

to be fair, even as an ELP fan I can recognise that they may deserve it (through gritted teeth Wink) 

ELP were only really good up to 1973 , VDGG continued evolving and I even like Do Not Disturb and rate it one of their best. Sadly VDGG had the all the charisma of a lump of concrete back in the day (well maybe not a lot has changed Tongue )

I mean... just look on the ratings on PA, really the only poor record VDGG made was ALT, everything else has been really good. 

ELP has everything up to Works Vol. 2, and maybe Black Moon (it's an okay record)
