ELP for sure. Still haven't gotten into TFK that much, but ELP's first 5 classics just can't be beat.Thumbs%20Up

We were waiting for youLOL......welcome to our LOVE BEACH rehabilitation project clubTongue.....you are getting free membership for lifeLOLWink
 
And your free admission package includes: tight satin crotch revealing pants, a courtesy 2 week trip to St-Barth (to search for empty Pomerol bottles) and a weight room so you can alter your scroungy look and become a beefcake like Lake (notice the rhyme!) . A Love Beach t-shirt will also be supplied so as to attract the succulent young ladies . In fact, I think it would be a perfect shirt to sell worldwide , on the artwork on the front and the Rehabilitation Project moniker on the back. We will sell millions more than the record. LOL So as not to pay royalties to ELP , give em to Micky instead!   Calliing it "Immersion, Ocean and Palmtree" LOL 
 
 
 
I can see you are well rested and in ''pleine forme''LOL
I have a feeling that LOVE BEACH will be soon the most popular album here on PALOLWink

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

There you are! Shocked

Now most of the main contributors from last time are back. Clap

I don't agree with your statement since I love TFK too, but I agree that ELP is heavily underrated (except Love Beach). Tongue


LOL

and I agree with Thomas.. Love Beach is VASTLY underrated... 


I've heard it only once and I don't want to hear it again. LOL

If I want ELP, I'll stick one of their classic 5 albums on. Clap


one side of it is garbage... one side is not.... if you listen to people...  and is ALL garbage.  Sure it not on par with earlier albums.. but again.. not an album devoid of any redeeming musical quality at all.


I'll maybe take the trek to listen to that one side one of these days. Not sure. It's just like choosing between Gabriel-era Genesis and Collins-era Genesis. Collins-era I'd hardly ever pull out, if at all anymore, but it's still better than most crap out there.

I really can't vote. I've only heard ELP, Tarkus and BSS, so I can't really pass judgment on ELP, and for TFK I've only heard the new album and Unfold The Future, only the latter of which I really like.



So I vote Rush Big%20smile


Rush will definitely be making an appearance. Wink

Quelle connerie je viens de faire ! But irrascibility is the ball and chain around rebelious minds ! Always stirring the pot . But I love LOVE BEACH only if I have a sip of that Pomerol , nom d'une plage!

ELP makes febus romantic, you see, with a glass of Pomerol in one hand and silky sands of St-Barth between his toes , all he can envision is that Love Beach cover and that troubling caribbean prog insideLOL
And the original Country Life Roxy album cover babes , between the palm trees , the artwork that was later BANNED in the USA, go figure!Confused Perverted they said Wink
 
 
You, Traitor...one more timeAngryLOL.....
 
You, one of the founder of the LOVE BEACH rehabilitation project thread..............you went for The Flower Kings.Cry  
 
I am going to remain  in exile on the silky beaches of ST.Barths lamenting about human ingratitudeLOLWink and definitely not sharing my Pomerol-Petrus  with you!

I was sad to see Area go up against Gong -- both favourite bands of mine, and neither would I want eliminated.  As For MO, voting for it was much easier for me (a no-brainer) and sorry that it lost.

I'm not the biggest ELP fan these days, but I still greatly prefer it to The Flower Kings.
