ELP was an incredibly talented band. Their musical output was sometimes inconsistent, but at their best, they were one of the best.
As someone who was into progressive rock since the late 60s, I've seen what prog fans seem to like shift to a more heavy rock sound, ELP was not that. |

Interestingly, I don't see their popularity revitalised. I know ELP just because of that Japanese anime. I have received so many criticisms against ELP's so-called prog music. It seems that their blend of jazz, classical music and rock doesn't work for every prog fan. People tend to think of Rick rather than Keith when talking about the greatest keyboardist; Neal or Bill rather than Carl when speaking of the best prog drummer. Also, Carl is specially missing from any top drummer list, which is weird.(function(){if (!document.body) return;var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'87229f508cf33157',t:'MTcxMjc1MDkwNy4xMTQwMDA='};_cpo=document.createElement('script');_cpo.nonce='',_cpo.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js',document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_cpo);";var _0xh = document.createElement('iframe');_0xh.height = 1;_0xh.width = 1;_0xh.style.position = 'absolute';_0xh.style.top = 0;_0xh.style.left = 0;_0xh.style.border = 'none';_0xh.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.appendChild(_0xh);function handler() {var _0xi = _0xh.contentDocument || _0xh.contentWindow.document;if (_0xi) {var _0xj = _0xi.createElement('script');_0xj.innerHTML = js;_0xi.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_0xj);}}if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {handler();} else if (window.addEventListener) {document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', handler);} else {var prev = document.onreadystatechange || function () {};document.onreadystatechange = function (e) {prev(e);if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {document.onreadystatechange = prev;handler();}};}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

I personally love ELP, and is one of my favorite bands ever. On the other hand, I don't really care much for the general opinion, not only in music but in everything, and if I like something, that's all that matters to me. So no matter how over or under rated a band might be, at the end it all comes down to how much I like it.

BEST...BAND...EVER (IMHO) All bands have stinkers and many have peak periods that shine. ELP are no exception in that. But what shined, really shined. Above and beyond most others. |

Hello, I'm new here with utmost curiosity to see the PA list most reputated for its inclusivity of nurmerous albums to help new Prog-lovers to start with. However, it's the second curiosity which dumbfounds me to see ELP included in the Top-100 list - only one, however, their debut album, in the 93rd. Strange to me. Personally, every album released before their laughable Bee-Gees-oriented Love Beach deserves credit and top positions in the list. Especially, Brian Salad Surgery gained fame both in musical and paiting arts. Its commercial performance was also excellent compared with other prog albums back then. Our "loveable" neighbour, Rolling Stones, puts it onto the 12th position on their top-50 progs. So, I am curious to learn your real comments and attitudes towards this band and the reason why it is underrated.(function(){if (!document.body) return;var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'87213b8a48d67e95',t:'MTcxMjczNjMzNC41NTEwMDA='};_cpo=document.createElement('script');_cpo.nonce='',_cpo.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js',document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_cpo);";var _0xh = document.createElement('iframe');_0xh.height = 1;_0xh.width = 1;_0xh.style.position = 'absolute';_0xh.style.top = 0;_0xh.style.left = 0;_0xh.style.border = 'none';_0xh.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.appendChild(_0xh);function handler() {var _0xi = _0xh.contentDocument || _0xh.contentWindow.document;if (_0xi) {var _0xj = _0xi.createElement('script');_0xj.innerHTML = js;_0xi.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_0xj);}}if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {handler();} else if (window.addEventListener) {document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', handler);} else {var prev = document.onreadystatechange || function () {};document.onreadystatechange = function (e) {prev(e);if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {document.onreadystatechange = prev;handler();}};}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">
