Blimey its the ghost of John Peel!

Ermm..
a) delicate? - Take a Pebble,From The Beginning,The Endless Enigma (into),Fugue,Trilogy (opening bit)
b) melodic?- Plenty of ELP's music has melody but they obviously were'nt The Carpenters
c) expressive? - ELP were one of the most expressive bands.That point is the silliest of the lot.
Truly one of the most ill considered anti -ELP rants I've read on here.

How about:
Glenn Hughes
Ronnie James Dio
Ritchie Blackmore
Bev Bevan
GRRB.... No! 
If the band name would be SATAN (every letter stands for each of the band members names) it would be cool :P

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Trevor Rabin (yes) - Geoff Downes (yes) - Robert Berry (3)
They would show all other supergroups how to sell their souls, and shamelessly break into the charts.
BTW, they would use a drum machine; because those human ones make the music sound too damned organic.

Ronnie James Dio, John Lord, and Cozy Powell is another one that would be cool
Dio used to play bass, but gave up on the second Elf album so he could focus on his singing

WOW!  Wouldn't that have been great? Probably not really prog (more along hard rock lines), but fantastic nevertheless.... As a matter of fact, these musicians played together (even if not ALL together) - Lord and Powell in Whitesnake (and I even saw them live at Donington in '83), Dio and Powell in Rainbow.
Incidentally, as we are speaking of a sort of prog "power trio", has any of you heard the album recorded a few years ago by Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton with Powell and John Entwistle? It's called "Edge of the World" and I've looked for it around, though to no avail.

You can really have a field day with this one -
How about Bruford - Anderson - Rutherford - Flea (BARF)
Yeah, I know, Flea (from the Chili Peppers) isn't prog, but I needed "F"
