I actually like Moonchild, I think people would love it if it was just the first 2 minutes which are fantastic, though actually I like the 10 minute noodlefest just because it has a nice ambient atmosphere to it.

Also this...

Buffalo '66 - Moonchild (song by King Crimson)

Christina Ricci + Tap dancing + King Crimson = Boner.

And who would have thought King Crimson was danceable? Props to Christina Ricci though, that's some pretty steamy tap dancing

I have ELP's self-titled. It's pretty fantastic. There's not a bad track on here. My only complaint is that they feel too inclined to give each member "their part". This can sometimes make the solo-y parts sound forced. And the best parts are when all 3 members are combining their musical powers anyways.

Also: Greg Lake's voice is amazing. I love it.

Its a pity he didn`t stay with King Crimson.

well After Buying Nearly Every Album, I can Honestly say I really Enjoy listening Emerson Lake & Palmer.
# Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970)
# Tarkus (1971)
# Pictures at an Exhibition (1971)
# Trilogy (1972)
# Brain Salad Surgery (1973)
# Works, Vol. 1 (1977)
# In Concert / Works Live(1977)
To be exact...

Tarkus is my Favorite:) I got in to the band Accidentally. and I totally Fell In love:) I was at my father's and his Girlfriend begged my father to let her play "Toccata" Off of "Brain Salad Surgery" (of Course). At first I was like what is this?? and why no lyrics?? and then she played "Still... You turn me on". I had to hear more!! and I have been Buying their Album ever since.. I really have no plans on Buying love beach or the Albums that Follow or any Emerson, Lake & Powell .. And After hearing "Love Beach" IDK it is Lacking. lol

I have trouble getting into this band. Prog records dominate my collection, and I own ELP self titled.

Keith Emerson's old band The Nice have some great stuff as well :) Might be a possible entry-band into ELP for those interested. In 2002, There's a nice 3 CDs box set out with highlights from their career called "Here Come the Nice: The Immediate Anthology" .. released in 2000, I think?

Well I guess that's alright, I mean, these guys seem to love doing uber-long solos. You gotta love that drum solo in Tank though, c'mon.

Also, I downloaded the whole discography today (with a downloading speed of 2.1MB/s, halleluwah), and although I have only heard their debut album (heard it before already), I can say that this stuff is awesome. Take A Pebble honestly seems a bit TOO long sometimes, but the rest is simply amazing.

Emerson Lake & Palmer
 

Anyone who have listened to Emerson Lake & Palmer? I really like their second album Tarkus and I've also listened to Brain Salad Surgery, Trilogy and their first album Emerson Lake & Palmer

You just named every essential EL&P album, the only other worth owning is the live album and maybe (juuuuust maybe) Pictures on an Exhibition. You named them in my exact order of favorites. Do WHATEVER you have to do to avoid hearing Love Beach <vomit>


*Edited to add: Works has some good stuff on it, it's definitely less than essential but it's fecking BRILLIANT compared to Love Beach
