It was actually called "Emerson Lake & Palmer"... ELP is short for the band... not the first album...
And I was referring to prog.. but you knew that... but I look at it as "there was ELP...and then there was some others..."... . (I'm nothing if not consistent!)

 I
knew that, I bought the album the week it was originally released. I
was baiting you because I couldn't believe a consumate ELP fan had
written that bit of ambiguity (ambiguous to this devious mind anyway) -
when do you get into the UK?

On Nov. 20th... I thought I'd just camp out in the Astoria for a few days... during Progeny and maybe follow Carl up to a show in Wales then Birmingham... but I might just stay in London... thats the great thing about traveling now.. I make no plans, I just go with the flow.... I don't return home till Nov. 27th.

My friend is really into them, and their is no doubt in my mind that all the players in the band are more or less gods of their instruments, but overall I prefer a band like Symphony X to them. DT are good but im not really into them.
I keep hearing great things about Rush so ill check them out for sure, Floyd is obviously a must, and to the guy who asked if i didnt mind the guitars not being the focus, it doesnt matter as long as the music is great. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It sure is weird, no doubt. No doubt.
No Doubt it is odd. There is no doubt that that is strange.

No one's mentioned Pendragon which I have just discovered after having dismissed them for 20 years. D'oh! Right now I would say they are the best prog band I have ever heard,nay,the best music I have ever heard,period. Which makes it even more annoying that I waited so long in checking them out. Double D'oh! It was the name,you see. I thought with a name like that they had to be a bunch of hippy,folky,Tolkien fanciers,which is the sort of thing I hate. How wrong I was! And it's only taken me 20 years to realise this. Triple D'oh!! Now I have lot of catching up to do...
But it really is a damn silly name.

Pendragon is actually derived from King Arthur mythology. I don't know if that helps you out on whether or not their name is silly but I thought I would help you try to stomach the name better. Perhaps it made it worse

Wel Pixel-pirate if you like pendragon you should check out shadowland and other derivate bands (some better than the other, but even so). I had the same experience as you.
They are along with marillion, post-gabriel (pre abacab) genesis and probably IQ the founders of neo-prog as I like it.

MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH PROG WAS DARK SIDE OF THE MOON AND ANIMALS
