ELP are very good indeed, the only complaint i have is that sometimes they can go a bit overboard with the keyboards, perhaps too much to take in, some songs get dragged down by extensive instrument passages. Very good band though from the first few of their albums i have heard. The first supergroup i think, and they have a great sound for a three piece. I'm not very keen on pictures at an exhibition though. Tarkus is my fave. Greatest of all? not in my book, they are 2nd tier prog in my eyes. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

They're....up there. Not one of my personal favorites, though I do have quite a few of their albums. One has to be in a certain ELP mood. When I do listen to them I enjoy their music, but they're not the best. Choosing a best is a hard thing to do. I'm juggling King Crimson, Genesis (early to mid seventies) and Van Der Graaf Generator. ------------- I don't believe in demons I don't believe in devils I only believe in you |

ELP....Every LP is Pomp...Pretentious...Pressed by Poofs... Not really, but they're FAR from my first tier of prog bands. I think they're great showmen, but it doesn't really come thru on the albums....even the live ones. I guess you had to be there to see the boys leaping from instrument to instrument....but the LPs are a bore. You have to wade thru too much shyte to get to an entertaining passage. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

I know everyone has their own opinion here about ELP but I just can't stomach them. I have tried, I honestly have. But, they are worse than fingernails on a chalk board (to me anyways). I still think they look like the Bee Gee's on Love Beach. So to answer the original question - NO! Not by a long shot are they the best. |

ELP are in the top six prog bands ever: King Crimson Genesis Yes ELP Pink Floyd Jethro Tull
Put them in any order you like...it doesn't matter. Rush are a great band and are one of my favourites as well,but the cornerstones of the genre are the above without any question whatsoever.(''But you forgot Gentle Giant!!'' I hear a few loud cries BTW Any chance of a sensible discussion about ELP for a change ie no name calling,no tantrums etc?? |
Posted By: valravennz

very predictable I know - but that was what I listened to in my early teens and still listen to. my fourth choice would be Jethro Tull and after that a gap to the rest -------------

One of my favourite but not the best - Genesis are! Probably the first supergroup, a real milestone but also a bit overboard with the Keith's keyboards (listen the confusion in Picture at an Exibition). Greg was the mind but Keith the boss! Wonderful Greg ballads (Still... you turn me on and the pacifist Lucky Man) and amazing Carl percussions (Tank, oh God!). Stay Up and Prog forever!

Thanks Flowerchild, I'll head out and pick up that record. I was blown away by Living Sin, so I'm looking forward to hearing more of them.

Date Posted: May 18 2005 at 04:42
Yes, I would, as with most bands during that period. I suggest you wait with Works I and II, thought IMO, they are good records...Love beach and the reunion-stuff is for completionists, though. But u should know that the song Living sin is NOT very significant for the rest of their catalog, IMO. |

[RANT] ELP have produced too much rubbish to really be considered the
"greatest". But God, I'm so sick of these discussions. How would you
feel if I started making threads claiming Gentle Giant were the
greatest band of all time every other day? I might think that they are
but that's JUST MY OPINION.
These discussions are pointless. Pointless and irritating. Why can't
you all take your heads out of the sand and talk about some DIFFERENT BANDS, eh? Good God, there are 1,607 groups listed in the Archives, countless more over at GEPR and yet, despite this half of you seem incapable of discussion more than about FIVE of them. It's pathetic and infuriating, especially when it's as silly as this. "I think this band's the bestest." "Yes, it is." "No it isn't." "Yes it is." "No it isn't." And people wonder why prog never gets represented well in the media...[/RANT] |

Just a suggestion then: There are about 30 threads on this first page... only one has the title "ELP"... if you don't like them or you don't want to read anymore about them.... then just skip the thread and go to one of those others that discusses the "DIFFERENT BANDS"..you seem to want to discuss... but don't!!!

I'll probably get shot for saying this...... I think Yes is one of those bands that is better on the albums than they are live. They are good live and can be great live but they rarely bring a dynamic to any given song that makes you prefer the live version of a song over a studio version. (talking real yes here - pre 90210). I know some of you will disagree. But, I am a person that loves live music and I still prefer Yes on the studio albums over the live stuff 99% of the time. They don't butcher the songs by any stretch, but they don't add much to them either. On the other hand ELP is one of those bands that adds magic to the music on stage. Hoedown is ok, but rather stuffy on the album...but live WOOOO!! Tarkus just flat out kicks ass live. I could go on and on. Threefates will probably try to ban me from the site for saying this, but the only exception to this IMO is Greg Lake doing his ballads. I always wanted him to STFU and get on with the good stuff. I always felt it ruined the flow of the show. I like his ballads on the albums, just not live. |

Yeah, it's hard to explain really. I wasn't trying to trash Yes in the least. I've seen them many times and enjoyed every show until Union. If you tried to pin me down I would even say that they are my favorite band. Yes - > Drama $$$$ But there was something totaly electric when ELP used to play. I remember the first time I heard Fanfare for the Common Man live. The timp hits followed by the horns going off is like soul destroying good in person. |

| I'm probably going more from experiences at the concerts than the live albums. The live Yes recordings from the 70s have never done them justice. I don't know if it was playing in the round, really crappy mobile recording setups or what, but they sounded 1000x better in person than YesSongs and YesShows and the DVDs/Tapes lead one to believe. |

On the whole, I'd agree with you. Whenever I hear Steve Howe staggering his way seemingly inexpertly through the opening of Close to the Edge I shudder. However, on the Yes Symphonic DVD they play Ritual - a song I've never liked all that much for numerous reasons - and they really transform it into something special. But yes, their live work is rarely an improvement on the studio work. |

Emerson Lake & Palmer are absolutely overrated! Here seams that only ELP and Yes are considered for the best prog band...i think you're missing a lot of othere great bands! Just for example you're talking about a prog trio (elp) and what about Quatermass??? Probably they were even more talented than ELP, surely more inspired!..but seems that no one cares. ELP are Overrated: great musicians but quiet uninspired and emotionless!!! ------------- For every truth even the contrary is true...
