No one doubts the musical skills of ELP. Great musicians, all. It was their somewhat bombastic amalgamation of rock and classical that warrants their inclusion, IMO.

Worst band ever? Got to be Power Station, the "supergroup" of the 80s with that Duran Duran guy, Robert Palmer and some other people.

Granted I did forget about the Power Station. However with respect to ELP, there is no crime in combining classical with rock, however ELP certainly were not as tactful and artistic about it as many of their contemporaries. E.g Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, and Gentle Giant.

Not all ELP songs were overly bombastic, "From the Beginning" and "Still You Turn Me On" were more laid back acoustic tracks.

Ooooh. [body shudder] That was bad.

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on.....
