ELP prog?

Man Overboard wrote: Man, what's with some of you guys?  Threefates is one of our best posters, as is Ke9 and so many others of you.  Some of them have an unhealthy obsession with ELP. GUESS WHAT!? We're PROGGERS.  Unhealthy obsessions with bands that most people don't care for is WHAT WE DO.  Do we really have to right amongst ourselves with the same jabs that we get from the public at large?  We should LOVE each other!  In bed AND out! I have an unhealthy obsession with:  The Mars Volta, King Crimson, Pain Of Salvation, The Flower Kings, and the sexy Daniel Gildenlow. I would make love to this man.  Now, make fun of THAT instead of someone's energetic appreciation for the works of mssrs Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

Daniel's nice but nowhere near as cute as Geddy

So just because they were great in the 70s, don't mean they can't still put on a great show... Very true when it comes to playing their old material but it's the new stuff that's killing them Saying that everyone knows Yes took a turn for the worse with '90125','Big generator'  etc...tragic stuff if you ask me but i borrowed the 'Key to ascenssion' sets a while back & quite liked that studio stuff on there...but not a patch on the old gear.

I think she is talking live and you studio.  I think all these bands can still play live.  The studio seems to be the trap as they still try to find how they put their music in a unwelcoming world of  commerical music.  The only bands that are doing that are on Indie or small labels.  The only problem is not many are making money.

If you want to hear a great studio album by a 70-'s group try Proto Kaw.  They reformed after 30 years after never getting a record contract.  From the reports of the live shows they are doing they are getting good reviews as are their studio albums.

You know the really sad thing about bands from the good old days that are still on the go???

Yep you guessed it!

dried up,desperate & it's so painfulll to see it.

I hope & pray that ELP don't re-form to end up like these old bands.

Linda - We aint Jealous of Mr lake, why should we be ?  

And your Boyfriend probably Doesn't understand irony, Sattire or Hyperbole never mind the litotes and pathos sometimes employed by the more erudite amongst the forum......

I showed some of these messages to the Irish boyfriend last night... He was surprised that all of you are adults.   He said, "Why do you bother with those f**king idiots"... actually he said "iggots"... but I'm getting better at understanding him now...

I'm still amazed at how jealous all of you are of Greg tho... thats just priceless!!
