Floyd followed by Genesis and ELP for me.

debaserr · 06-24-2011, 11:36 AM

oh, I forgot Pink Floyd, silly me. I'd put them somewhere between 2 and 4.

ELP · 09-03-2011, 06:06 AM

ELP all the way for me. Its the only band that i can listen to without getting bored. I like almost all of the songs on their first 5 albums, which adds up to be 41 different songs, some over 9 minutes long. I had never heard of Can until recently but they seem a bit overrated as all their songs sound the same. Every band i've listened to until now has been a phase. I still love KC and Yes but i guess i played them out. This is my first time on this forum but I was surprised to find that some people actually liked King Crimsons later stuff. I personally thought that In the Court of the Crimson King was there only truly good album and the rest paled in comparison.
