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 )
