The greatest keyboard player 'Ever', Keith Emerson has a new anthology CD coming out called 'HAMMER IT OUT'. Can anyone provide a link to where I can see the track listing?

Thanks!

Why do people keep beating this dead horse till the bones are ground into dust (Even though I am contributing in said beating, I'm just curious)?

Variations of D Minor. The saddest of all keys.

tr00000000 proggies or ones who think they are love bashing bands that are just a bit "different" A lot of Opeth, Symphony X, King's X bashing for what I've seen here.

I always liked them.  I was lucky enough to see them in concert around 1979 and they blew me away.  To this day it's the best concert I've ever seen.

I don't think there's anything regarding Keith's music thats delusional...

And Spinal Tap were reminicent of Black Sabbath... nothing related to ELP in the least...

Triumvirat sucks more than love pumps...

And someone doesn't like pompous music??  Then you don't really like prog, now do you?
