So she has a point but ELP were a hard band stylistically to pin down. They were 'messy' as I assert or if you are being kind then 'eclectic' as JD suggests!"

Thank you!, this seems to be a thorough analysis.

Some more about ELP, I've heard a lot of times the opinion that the band wasn't very original in terms of it's relation to Classical music, but once a friend of mine, who was trained Classical musician, heard some of the typical ELP and she meant that it was very much based on Jazz . So now, I'm even not sure if the classification of ELP as Symphonic Prog is correct.

Before I now returned to PA forums (after a very long break), I joined for a while Discogs' forums, but now it's so good again to meet very Prog knowledgeable people who are eager to "talk" and debate as well, thank you.

MB without a question.
It was predictable they won't win one of the biggest classic prog bands, but coming even that close is marvelous and proves how many admirers they have here.
