ELP>>>>>Yes>>>King Crimson>Genesis


At least in my opinion. :[

you're weird

I know. 

I'm just absolutely in love with ELP. They're my obsession as of right now. o_o

I've never been able to have much more than a slight interest in them. They're really not usually my kind of prog. I mean, they're not terrible like Kansas or something, but still. Yes is better than ELP if you ask me. Or at least Fragile is.

Ah, I see. They're just one of the bands in which I've had an enormous interest. It's different for everyone, I suppose.
Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus, and Trilogy are incredible, in my book. Fragile is, as well.

BSS is the only ELP album I've tried and it came off as "good" to me but not all that interesting. Fragile has "Cars and Brahms" and "Five Per Cent For Nothing" working against it, and some of the rest of the album sort of bores me a little bit. However, I can definitely admit that the first couple minutes of "Heart of the Sunrise" are pure prog greatness. "Roundabout" is of course a classic as well and "The Fish" is interesting, though maybe a bit lacking.

[Samus Aran]

btw i also forgot to mention Jethro Tull, and they're better than both Yes and ELP as well

Hmm. Try giving Tarkus a try. You might like it; I don't know.

Yeah, those are the downsides of Fragile. I agree with you on your song selections. I also like "South Side Of The Sky".

I haven't listened to enough Jethro Tull to give a fair opinion about them.

Just get all of Aqualung to start, and if you like that, get Thick as a Brick.

Will do.

Thanks.
