Dude , you can't do Baby!! on a music thread without Kelly Harmon and WRIF.

Easy to make fun of ELP courtesy of Peter Griffin but there was a reason they actually were legendary .... this is three guys with minimal "tech" compared to today. (and OMFG @ Carl Palmer!)

 

[Muse]

Bridge Over Troubled Water is a better song.

 

[Muse]

(The Beatles have their own dedicated Sirius/XM channel plus still get DAILY radio-play on FM and extensive streaming)

And rightfully so, the greatest pop band ever by miles.

About time an actual Beatles fan showed up. We all young’uns who did not experience 20 #1s come out in the moment.

They've got a whole container ship full of clunkers though.

I do like both of them, but I'd rank many other S&G songs above either.

This would be that whole "subjective" thing I mentioned earlier!

Many folks seem to have issues confusing "my favorite" and "the best".

While we're at it, I could never really dig on ELP either
Lucky Man is a solid jam though.

This was the first ELP song that got to me:

A lot of their music that never saw much/any air-play is really good... far better than most of the popular numbers.

Check out an album called "Tarkus".

I've listened to Brain Salad Surgery for sure, I don't remember if I listened to Tarkus as well, it's been a while.

A side of Tarkus is OK. B side less so.

One of their best that may have been too long for much airplay is Take a Pebble.
