Didn't one of the men's magazine's (Stuff, FHM, or Maxim) pick ELP as the worst major rock band of all time?
I grew up listening to ELP because my stoner brother loved them. If I heard "Karnevil 9" or "In the Beginning" one more time I was going to kill myself. I hated those guys as a kid. I liked Queen, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, 10cc, hell I liked everything but Prog Rock.
So recently I thought my tastes have changed as I have gotten older, so I would toss some Prog Rock on the old turntable and see if I had gained an appreciation for it.
Well, I liked the albums by Yes, and early Genesis, but I still agree that ELP sucked. Great musicians, but man they took themselves way too seriously.
