For one, Carl Palmer can do whatever the f*ck he wants, maybe he's arrogant, but hey, if I was one of the best drummers in the world I would be too. I don't care if prog musicians are arrogant, they deserve to be. Compare that to all the arrogant dipsh*ts who aren't even talented: Nicky Wire, Brandon Flowers, Conor Oberst, the Gallagher brothers, way too many punk musicians to count.
I Believe in Father Christmas isn't even an ELP song. And do you realise how many bands you are discrediting by saying that not under any circumstances is a band credible if a member has a really sh*tty solo career?
If you think a good musician can NEVER write a sh*tty song or two, then again, I have to point out your blatant inconsistency by reminding everyone that your favorite artist has written stuff like this.
How can you possibly defend stuff like this?
I really think Trout Mask Replica is overrated as all hell, it has some terrific songs but it's really hard to call it a musical masterpiece when a third of the tracks is the worst f*cking music possibly conceivable by human beings. I mean, is there really a worse song out there than Hobo Chang Ba?
No, there isn't.
