That's because ELP are the most boring overblowntripe on this planet.

I'll agree that their output is a little mixed .. Take tarkus for example, title track is awesome. Then, when Jeremy Bender comes on it's like what happened now? :p

The stuff I like from them is really good, I think.

Probably because they, along with Todd Rundgren, were considered to be crazily pompous and self-indulgent even by the standards of most prog. bands back in the mid-late 70's, and that reputation has lingered some today.

ELP were killer live though, I'll give them that!

Of course I know about the ELP tour trailers, Carl Palmer's two and a half ton drumset and all that stuff .. But hey, pompousness isn't necessarily all bad in music.

That's of course true, but I was generally refering to their music, what they do onstage has no effect on me considering I'm far from a fan. They just bore me witless.

Tarkus is boring? It's one of my favourite prog pieces of all time.

You probably have enough on your plate, but maybe you should give'em another shot one day.

I'm seriously getting back into early 70's Genesis starting with Foxtrot, Genesis Live, Selling England, TLLDOB, and even Trick of the Tail. It's shocking to hear Phil Collins play drums he's so fookin good. They could play light and melodic or complex and nasty as hell.

Yeah, his solo on "Dance on a volcano" is just something else! Early Genesis certainly beats later, more toned-down/poppy one, but I'd have to say THE best years were with Gabriel (though they did some great stuff even after that) --- look at Foxtrot, Nursery cryme, the Lamb ... says it all really!
