Any of you cats grew up listening to ELP? Man, the memories! This was a really great song of theirs!
Yeah, we could listen to them (and others) late at night on the the 50,000 watt blowtorch, the Mighty KAAY, broadcasting Clyde Clifford's Beaker Street. Underground radio on AM.

Great times with great friends. I was a lucky man.

Love their music but always felt they were under achievers. All that talent, and most people only know Lucky Man(A true masterpiece BTW). Add some more for From The Beginning, then a couple more for Karn Evil 9. Anything past that, and you are a true fan.

I see why you say that, and yes, the average joe doesn't think much about ELP, but not having multiple "big hits" doesn't make them underachievers. They did sell an estimated 48 million albums and toured to packed houses for a relatively short career (not counting later reunions). Being at the forefront of "prog rock", that's pretty damn good.

That is amazing when compared to what Joe on the street would know.

Great band

Pirates is an amazing song.

And Carl Palmer is the best rock drummer in R&R history.
