First off, is there any reason for such needless hostility?

Second, re read what I said and what you said....... You've really made an error here br-oh wait I guess I can't use that term........

Third, you like Avril Lavigne. Is this entire board a fucking joke? I can't tell if you people are serious or not with these opinions.

dude, i don't get why you seem to think that napalm death are immediately related to punk more than avril lavigne. if you don't see it, the joke's on you, right?

Breaking this down to it's core elements:

Grown men into mall punk vs. Progressive rock

You can read that and not feel ashamed of yourself?

[Genteel Death]

Not liking ELP hardly equates to not like Prog R. There's tonnes of Prog that I like. I just think ELP are appalling.

[The Watcher]

Ha ha? Funny board you guys have here......

[demonrail666]

I thought it was a perfectly reasonable point

[The Watcher]

Yours was fine..... I didn't refresh the board, it was directed at that other guy...........

[Genteel Death]

Back on track.......

I mean, these guys destroy me every time. A rainbow? With a mysterious crystal? Thanks very much I definitely want whatever radical double album you're cooking up...... Is that Shiva I see?

I feel like this thread can still be salvaged despite the recent embarrassments that took place - I don't even really care if you don't like them, that's your loss, all I'm trying to do is challenge the popular consensus that their music wasn't good - I mean, anything you read about ELP has more scathing criticism of their excess, but what can you expect from a group of excellent musicians who flawlessly melded classical music in with contemporary rock? Humility? If you could play your instrument that well (be it bass, drums or giant modular synthesizer) you'd fell the need to wear a fucking kimono to the grocery store too.

Now, I think like Opeth and many other excellent and successful progressive rock groups, I find that their fans are possibly the worst part. Have you ever spent any time reading the reviews of their album mastering on amazon.com? I was thinking about upgrading my edition of Pictures A An Exhibition to the double disc set as mine lacks a) the studio version and b) the bonus live disc and so I set out to read the reviews - these weirdos are complaining about the remastering in the most horrifically anal retentive way!! Why!! I'm sure it sounds fine you crazy people!!!

The other thing is when people talk about how Hendrix almost joined, but instead died - that would have been terrible!! I can't even imagine how dull that would have been with four virtuosos wailing away like a bunch of cock-eyed bandits...... three is the perfect number!!

I used to like Pictures at an Exhibition a lot before I heard the original version. I was quite disappointed when I noticed there´s so many great pieces in the original version ELP didn´t make version. Somehow I haven´t listened other bands material, maybe heard some song in the radio. Have to listen someday.

Don't waste your indie snobbery on trying to determine what music I like or don't like. The name of that group was coined by Glice. I take full responsability for starting the first thread on Paris Hilton's music, though.

[Genteel Death]

...and the first thread on this forum about Plastic People of The Universe, a band 100 times better than this crap. I do like me some PFM, though.

[The Watcher]

Well great man happy to hear all that stuff about you...... Next time you can even tell me about these trillion bands I've never heard of, we'll make like a fun day out of it..........

[chicka]

Nope never saw ELP live. My best buddy did and he reported it to me as well as different publications back in the seventies....
