I've been thinking about my own personal ratings for ELP's 10 studio albums and it goes like this ELP (1970) - 9/10 Tarkus (1971) - 8/10 Trilogy (1972) - 9/10 Brain Salad Surgery (1973) - 10/10 Works Volume One (1977) - 7/10 Works Volume Two (1977) - 5/10 Love Beach (1978) - 3/10 Emerson,Lake and Powell (1986) - 6/10 Black Moon (1992) -5/10 In The Hot Seat (1994) - 2/10 The first 5 - average rating 8.6 The last 5 - average rating 4.2 well you get the picture! the band was more or less done by 1978, classic case of a band going on too long past their 'sell by date'. I think other bands were able to sustain the success a little longer. ELP were always the poster band for classic era prog though so their collapse was big news. I think they never fully recovered from the negative publicity of the Works tour when they were losing a million dollars a show for those early orchestral gigs. It bit them hard.

What comes to mind is Riverside's 'Second Eye Syndrome', then also: -Dream Theater's 'Images & Words' (it is fantastic but not a full-on prog masterpiece for me), -Yes' 'The Yes Album' -Genesis' 'Trespass' -'2112' by Rush -'Script' by Marillion
