  1. I think Counterparts is their most underrated disc. Love it! Cold Fire, Animate, Nobody's Hero, Stick It Out, etc. Actually that 3 disc run Presto, Roll The Bones and Counterparts was a great series of discs. I saw them on each of those tours (plus 2 other times) - AMAZING! :thumbsup:

    I think Roll the bones is very underrated. Presto has some amazing songs but it sounds a bit too 80's at times, Counterpart is good but not one of my favourite. Test for echoes is underrated too, the song Resist is beautiful.

  2. I love Rush!!! I liked 2112 and had a couple of albums of them in mp3 a few years ago, but didn't care too much about them, in fact I couldn't stand Geddy's voice that much, until I saw the Rush in Rio dvd and it blew my mind. I've became a fan since then and started to get their albums and dvds, they're amazing live. They were obviously very influenced by Led Zeppelin at the begging but soon they evolve into their own sound, more progressive, although they've changed a lot through the years. My favourite albums are all the ones from 2112 to Moving Pictures. I think the last 2 were also great.

  3. ELP tends to play their instruments too quickly and often forget that passion in music is more important than technical virtuousity

    I know what mean you cos that's what I hate about some bands, but that's not the case with ELP in my opinion. Plus not all his music was about technical viruosity, listen to Greg Lake's ballads for example like Lucky Man, there's not virtuosism at all there.

  4. Its great to see 'new' ELP fans here. One of my big disappointments in music is that bands like ELP will be lost newer generations. Its encouraging to see people starting to listen to them.

    You're right about that, it's a shame. I watched their In The Begging DVD and I realized how HUGE they were back in the 70's, and now everybody I spoke about them doesn't even have a clue about who they are. By the way, that DVD it's amazing, it's got a lot of live stuff. Now I'm thinking of getting Pictures at an exhibition on DVD.

  5. I love all their albums from 1969 to 1974, especially Red and In The Court Of The Crimson King. I couldn't get into their albums form the other eras, like Discipline or The Power To Believe, but maybe I haven't listened to them enough. I only liked some stuff from The Construktion of Light, wich most people seem to dislike...

  6. I don't like too many new bands, but one I really really like is The Killers, I think they're great. I also like The Strokes, Jet and Starsailor. Some not so new bands I love but who still rock are Oasis, Foo Fighters, Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers and Travis.

  7. Amazing band!! I only started to listen to them last years but I love them now. The my favourite prog rock band after Pink Floyd and Genesis. My favourite albums are Brain Salad Surgery, Trilogy and Tarkus, but I like them all, even Love Beach!
