Hey! ELP is one of the best! It was progressive rock that really rocked. Although the music and lyrics were a bit corny from time to time but it still doesn't nullify the fact that Tarkus and Karn Evil 9 are one of the greates prog songs ever recorded.

I think I ended up in the world of ELP when I heard Hoedown on a special radio show Progeyƶ (Prog Night in English). Next day I went to the local library and loaned ELP compilation and that's when my descent to progresive rock started.
