Paul. The method of replying you are using here is technically called "Top Posting" - while there is nothing inherently wrong in doing this, you may have noticed that no one around here does that - we all "Bottom Post". Top-posting is okay in emails and PMs, but in forum posts it's confusing since we read threads from the top of the page to the bottom, and the same for each post - we read the quote, then the reply from top to bottom just as you would read paragraphs in book.
Now, as I said, there is nothing inherently wrong with this, and as a means of stamping your individuality it's fine by me, but it does mean that anyone replying to your post is going to Bottom-post their response which will result in a right royal bloody mess and it does fly against convention and standard PA posting etiquette.

I love how many responses go along the lines of-"Definitely ELP, I heard this one part of this Moody Blues album once and can say definitely ELP."

ELP
both bands went downhill (IMO), MB after 1972 and ELP after 1973. ELP got my vote because I just listen to them more :)

Both bands I don’t have much love for, but Emerson, Lake & Palmer won here on the strength of their self-titled debut and Brain Salad Surgery.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Moody Blues for me but I like both a lot and both are in my top 15 or so. Unfortunately I've never seen ELP(just Keith and Greg, Keith solo once and CP solo once). The Moody Blues I have seen but only once unfortunately(1988 on the Sur La Mer tour).

Moody Blues...their first 7 are all good imo and in the old days we played them far more than ELP ,and I only really like the first 4 ELP....the debut still being my favorite.
I have a lot more fond memories of those nights listening to In Search of or Children's Children.

ELP were amazing, but I will always have a very big, soft spot in my heart for the Moodies. And nothing will ever top Days of Future Passed.
