Well here's another.
I personally don't like ELP: like you mentioned, I find the words "overblown", "pretentious" and "bombastic" to very much suit them, and I'd also add "self-indulgent". But here's the thing: your biography was excellently written, well researched and very interesting. Although ELP are not a band I would normally give the time to, it was intriguing to read about them, and I can see you certainly know your stuff.

Great writing as ever, and I must say this is absolutely turning out to be a real gem among the journals here. Glad you started, and you've without question put a lot of work into it. I'll be directing as many people as I can to it via the update thread on Sunday.
