You're kidding, right? It's one thing for prog to appear in a film soundtrack. It's quite another for a band to lease out its music for a quick buck.

Still... you turn me on was their biggest, at least from my sources  |
NO WAY! Lucky man blows them both out of the water for airtime.

Never heard Still... on radio and heard Lucky Man once (it was 2 for tuesday and they needed a second song  ) Pt.2 I heard several times.
Guess it depends on the station.

What does it mean?? a prog musician is not allowed to make money???? does he have to live the life of the starving artist???/
Shame on those elitist/ self righteous comments/!!!!! 
Sorry but i still prefer hear the voice of Greg Lake on a commercial than a gangsta rapper or a cute boyband; i am glad that ''my guys'' made it and that their songs are acknowledeged by the establishment......It' s avictory for prog, not a sell out
I have heard a lot of s...t people said about ELP, but please ELP selling out,??? that's a first/!!!!
It would be nice this band , even if it was not perfect gets some love, especially on a supposed prog website and ELP is not even one of my top favorite bands, but damn they were important !  |

Did you read Ivan's post? I think ELP remixes constitute shameless selling out.

Agreed with riley/Ivan's post. ELP sold out long ago. Hell, Love Beach was a sellout album before Re-Works. I'm willing to forgive songs that appear on ads when a band doesn't have the rights to their own music, but to my knowledge ELP's own Manticore label owns the rights, so they put their music on air. BIll Hicks had an excellent rant on the sacrifice of artistic credibility that comes with selling out to ads. I could never hope to come close to the fire and accuracy of his diatribe, so check it out to sum things up nicely.

Love Beach was also a sell out, and as I mentioned before, I find Works II to be similarly sold-out. However, no one can argue that ELP hasn't sold out when there was that abysmal Re-Works collection.

Sorry , but for me WORKS VOL 2 and LOVE BEACh are only bad albums, doesn't mean ithey are sell- out albums,
I don't see anything in those 2 that could have had the potential to reach any pop charts as opposed to latter Genesis or Yes  |

Ok, but what about Re-Works? Remixes are just about the lowest form of selling-out.

if they had to do it for any drink, Dr. Pepper was by far the best choice they could've made

You may have a point, Riley but who do you think is gonna buy these remixes??? not the old fans like us, for sure but i don't think mainstream teen boopers are going to as well; so i am not sure if there is a big commercial business brainstorming behind these re-works as the sales potential seems rather very limited.

Selling out without selling copies: the worst kind of selling-out.
