ELP are a band who tend to polarise opinion.
Seen by some as the greatest exponents of '70 progressive rock, seen by others as the epitome of all that was wrong with the genre. Whatever your opinion, it is difficult to argue with the contention that ELP contained in Keith Emerson one of the greatest musicians of his generation. The albums could be patchy, but usually contained moments of sheer brilliance - for myself, I would have to vote for Brain Salad Surgery, if only for Karn Evil -------------

| JIM:i chose Tarkus but somewhat reluctantly,it was more for the memories it evokes(and the fact that side 1 is so good) but there are so many great tracks on all the albums that the choice was difficult!!!. stay safe!!! |

| I'd have to choose ELP's debut, if only for the superb musicianship on songs such as The Three Fates, Lucky Man, The Barbarian, and so on. Other than that, Brain Salad Surgery comes close, as it has some very intruiging moments as well. |

I had to vote for BSS, even though there are other tunes off Triolgy and ELP that are more meaningful to me. A a whole, BSS with Karn EVil 9 was their crowning achievement.

Hello everybody! What a great site!! My fave ELP album has to be Brain Salad Surgery.The playing is wonderfully fluid by all three of them and the dark tone of the songs appeals to me.One minor blot is Benny The Bouncer which have been better left off, but the majesty of Karn Evil 9 more than wipes away this little indiscretion.

There's a problem, I like Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery almost the same, but I'' stay with Trilogy because it's better balanced and has Trilogy, my favorite ELP track. BSS has Karn Evil 9 (Should have been played as one song not as separete parts) but also has Jerusalem that tkes the album down. Iván -------------

Since I can't seem to put my BSS review in the review section... I'll put it here for my favorite ELP album... BSS is my favorite album, so I’m rating it 5 stars. To me it’s the ultimate progressive album of all time. It has everything. The greatest musicians, the greatest voice, and a concept that was extremely viable at the time, along with just enough pretentiousness to be absolutely perfect! I once read where someone said that Greg Lake’s voice provides a calming relief in the midst of Keith’s chaos. And yet that’s where the ELP genius laid, the balance between Keith Emerson and Greg Lake and the supporting steadiness of Carl Palmer. The beginning of Jerusalem is quite majestic to me. Brings you into what is regal and yet realistic about England. The song is also a childhood favorite hymn of mine, so now I have an updated rocking version with the voice of an angel… I prefer Keith when he’s a bit self-indulgent. It makes for some very interesting choices in music; for instance, Ginastera’s “Toccata”. When you come at the music from Keith’s point of view, you come on hard and passionate. When I heard the original piece after listening to ELP’s version for so long, it bored me, but there is nothing boring about Keith’s rendition or Carl’s first use of his drum synths. You listen to it, then when its finally over, you think “What the hell was that??” Then it leads you into a lovely Greg Lake ballad that brings you back to ground and gives you one of the most beautiful vocal performances ever, even with the “Someone get me a ladder” line. You have to hear this on the DVD-Audio though; the first time I heard it on a good system, it gave me goose bumps all over and it actually made me teary eyed. The first few times I heard it live acoustically, I really missed the keyboards, the studio version is just so intricate.. However, Karn Evil 9 is the true masterpiece of the album. Personally even though the second part of the First Impression is the most known, I prefer the Third Impression, which I believe to be the soul of this album. The vocals done by Greg on this piece are awe inspiring, I think it actually caused me to change the way I pronounce specific words. And then there’s the cliff hanger… Did man win or did the computer win?? Hey, on tour I saw it sprout wings and the blow up every night… so in my book, the human’s won.
------------- THIS IS ELP

Jeeez - I got that one right........ However, I still stand by my opinion then, that Keith Emerson was one of the finest musicians of his generation; this does not necessarily mean that ELP are faultless (name me one band who are), but it certainly means you should least dip into their back catalogue for a taste; I think most would find something they like....

I voted Tarkus I still have some exploring to do. I only really know Tarkus, the debut album and Emerson Lake & Powell well. I have BSS on order and will probably get round to buying Trilogy. I've heard Pictures, and to be honest I thought it was laughable, although I was quite young when I heard it, so another listen may be called for. But, Reed, you're right. Moving Pictures is a fine album ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| I'll have to go with works Volls. I & II. For some reason they are the ones I listen to the most . I think at this point with all the crazy touring behind them they were able to sit down and think the music out with clearer heads. Also it is interesting to see what they could do individually. Father Christmas and Fanfare are two of my faves from ELP. |

Well I would guess you'd have to like a church organ to be able to appreciate it. You aren't evidently a fan of church organs... so whats the point. The three fates is all about the second fate and its mergence into the third fate actually. If you can't appreciate BSS, what makes you think you could appreciate this remarkable song??

I love Church Organ, and Wakeman uses is sublimely in Awaken ! - Also used to great effect by Par Lindh - who is possibly the best practitioner in prog music - The three Fates is amateurish by comparisson, I was expecting a LOT more but thats the typical ELP fan going OTT - ELP never gets beyond the ordinary - to scale the heights they needed a classic album without at least 3 turkeys on it......!!!! ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

So far you're still only discussing the first fate... which is simple for a reason; because it meant as contrast to the beauty of the 2nd fate.. and the intensity of the third. And I'm not very impressed with your taste if you find that second fate to be amateurish... The complete organ works of Bach... is just that.. church music... I wouldn't call what Keith does church music.. even tho its played on a church organ...

Hi All! I'm new here and delighted to find that I am not the very last ELP fan left on this planet.. Hmm, best album?

all ELP albums are patchy - thats the main problem - consistency......
You wanna start looking at the patchiness of Genesis recording before you quote ELP material patchiness.Stinks springs to mind. I love eary Genesis but the sound destroys them..

Tarkus is their best songs so I'll vote for that. Amazing. ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |
