Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Among the worst in the progressive field. Too often, they focus on technique for its own sake, excellent musicians (Emerson is undoubtedly stunning) but composers who are not overly imaginative. Nevertheless, the debut is a beautiful album, and I also appreciate the subsequent four works (except for the for me terrible Pictures at an Exhibition). They are still a good band (up until '77 with some reservations). Absolutely dispensable and often unpresentable from '77 onwards.
