Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I remember the only reason I picked up Brain Salad Surgery was because I was deep in my progressive rock phase, I had heard the name thrown around a bit, and the cover was done by HR Geiger. Any band that gets HR Geiger to make album artwork for them is at least worth a listen in my book.

It took my a few listens to get into since the first couple of times I was really wishing there was more guitar in there, but once I "got" what their band was about, I loved it. I can also credit this band for getting me into Yes. I love Steve Howe's guitarwork, but that band is all about Rick Wakeman for me.
