That is depressing...though a rather strange choice for a Dr. Pepper ad. I wish I was at the meeting where that idea was pitched Smile

If it was pt. 1 that might be selling out a bit, but pt. 2 is still a very well known single, easily their biggest.

hahah... if it had been pt 1.  there would have been some advertising exec out on the street looking for job tomorrow morning hahhaha.  Prog fans have short lifespans in jobs like advertising. 



pitch man -  hey ..you know would would be perfect music for that part where the woman finds out her panty shield is ...errr... not up to the task...

VP of advertising - no micky... what do you have in mind

ptich man -  ELP's The Barbarian...   would work great in the frames where she has a look of terror wearing her nice new white dress

VP-  ELwho?

pitch man - Emerson Lake and Palmer.. doing their 'adaptation' of Bartok.

VP-  huh... 

pitch man - *grabs ipod and plays Barbarian*

VP -  you're fired....

I wouldn't consider that "selling out", I'd consider it "more exposure for awesome prog bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer"! (...Now all we need to do is convince the people who make those "Incredible Edible Egg" commercials to use "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs" from Supper's Ready in their commercials!)

ELP sold out around Works II, so this isn't really news.

I disagree, Works II is horrendous album IMO, but it's mostly an album made of songs rejected by them for previous releleases.because they already had their own label but owed Atlantic two or three releases,
 
The label pushed them more than the usual sd they didn't gave their best, the band simply gathered all this songs that didn't made it to Works I and paid part of their debt (the rest was paid with Love Beach).
 
Yes they sold out at some poin of their career but it was here:
 
Re-Works
 
Track Listing - Disc 1
1. Re-Works One [Fanfare 2000 Golden Jubilation Mix] (7:29)
2. Re-Works Two (5:43)
3. Re-Works Three (5:24)
4. Re-Works Four (10:43)
5. Re-Works Five (6:13)
6. Re-Works Six (5:50)
7. Re-Works Seven (10:33)
8. Re-Works Eight (3:22)
Track Listing - Disc 2
9. Re-Works One [Fanfare 2002-Extended Golden Jubilation Mix] (7:26)
10. Humanoid (6:03)
11. Inside Out (4:01)
12. Plastic Flowers (4:32)
13. Palmstone (9:17)
Track Listing - Disc 3
14. Fanfare 2002 [Digger's Mix] (9:43)
15. Fanfare 2002 [Earth Loop Mix] (8:42)
16. Fanfare 2002 [Public Order Mix] (6:28)
17. Fanfare 2002 [the Pilgrim Mix] (8:28)
18. Fanfare 2002 [X-Ert's Esoteria Mix] (3:57)
 
That was selling out.
 
Now, I don't know about the commercial, and even though I agree it's disgusting, it's only a way of getting more money for the band because until now all their labels have taken the money from the fan's pockets with al those "The Best of ELP".
 
Now at least they are taking the money from  a big company and making the song  availlable for the huge audience never heard it before.

Well, conventionally it is, but situationally, ELP is my favorite band.

ELP music isn't new to sports.  Fanfare for the Common Man.  The last part of Tank.  I just hope some people hearing it for the first time are encouraged to check out ELP.  We may have some new converts to prog yet.  Big%20smile 
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

This isn't new, I'm afraid, Micky!! 'Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part II' was used as the theme tune for ghastly UK game show 'The Generation Game' presented by the irksome 'comedian' (and ELP fan...) Jim Davidson. AFAIK, they recorded a special version for the show in the 1990s...

I've been hearing "Turn it on Again" as the theme for truck ads lately, "Solsbury Hill" was in the background touting something or the other some years ago and The Who has several of their classic tunes serving as opening music for crime dramas.  I'm sure I'm overlooking many other examples but it just goes to show that ELP isn't breaking sacred ground here.  I say make the bread where you can, guys.  Stick it to the big corporations.  Still beats ultra-annoying rap shout-outs for Target or McDonald's all to hell.  Wink
