Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Musical Group

British progressive rock supergroup formed in 1970 by Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer, known for virtuosic keyboards, classical adaptations and ambitious suites.

Members: Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass, guitar, vocals), Carl Palmer (drums). Key albums include Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970), Tarkus (1971), Trilogy (1972), Brain Salad Surgery (1973).

DeBaser's reviews treat Emerson, Lake & Palmer as a virtuoso, divisive prog supergroup. Favourite studio works (Tarkus, Brain Salad Surgery, Trilogy) and dramatic live releases receive most praise. Opinions split on later commercial choices like Works and Love Beach.

For:Fans of progressive rock, classic rock listeners, and readers of album reviews

 I am also among those who for many years said: “Bravo. In fact, very good! But damn, what a heaviness! Was it really necessary to make a suite last 29 minutes and 38 seconds?? It doesn’t even fit on one side, come on! I understand that Emerson had a slightly oversized ego, but here we’re exaggerating…”
