I never would've guessed that abysmal lyric is from ELP's Brain Salad Surgery. It sounds "badder" than a Barry Manilow lyric. Smile

"Quick, I need something that rhymes with sadder and madder"

"How about ladder?"

"That makes no sense in the context of the rest of the sentence"

"F*ck it, bung it in anyway"

"Ok"

1.ELP
2.Tarkus
3.BSS
4.Trilogy

So many what ifs about that lyric. They could have gone with "Could it get any badder" or "I need to evacuate my bladder".

As another thought is War Pigs by Black Sabbath the only song that manages to rhyme the same word, albeit with different meanings?
Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses

My list would be:

1. Brain Salad Surgery
2. Tarkus
3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4. Works I 
5. Pictures at an Exhibition
and if a live album is allowed:
6. Welcome Back My Friends...
7. Trilogy
(without live album it would possibly be Black Moon on 7 and Trilogy on 6)

Love Beach would not even be in my top 20 Wink
