"wow.....I just realized my favorite works by them are all adapatations"

I have the same problem with ELP. Now when I look back on them, my favorite tracks are Toccatta, Hoedown, Fanfare, the Barbarian, etc. But I would have to say the Karnevil #9 is still a piece that acheived something lasting. I particularly enjoy the Second Impression but find the third a bit silly with moments of briliiance.

When I saw ELP in 1998, I was not very impressed with them. They really did not seem to enjoy playing together anymore; they lacked energy. It was one of their last gigs together. I would be nice to see them play together one more time. I think a big part of it is Lake's ego; there was a blurb on his website about him putting together the greatest band he ever played with. Ironically, he was the one who was least successful outside of ELP. He was really the leader of the band, though; he wrote the hits that popularized them and was the anchor. He always seemed to be the odd man out, though.

Hey guy i listen to ELP since i was 15 and i own their entire catalogue so, shut up !!!

Pictures is not a song, it is a collection of "songs" or "pictures", so it doesnt matter how long you have been listening.

Anyway if you want to count it as one, thats your perogative I guess.

PICTURES AT AN EXIBITION is a Suite (or passage extended in several movements connected properly). Isn't it ?

Is it? And even if it is, does that make it one song?
