Emerson, Lake & Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer CD

“Supergroups” existed even before Emerson, Lake & Palmer was formed in 1970. And many came after them. But few, if any, could match the chemistry of the British trio and their unique combination of virtuosity, vision and energy. ELP continues to influence a wide range of musicians and their self-titled debut album remains an impressive statement of creative imagination, dramatic songwriting and musical mastery more than five decades after its original release! Emerson, Lake & Palmer opened the door to the infinite possibilities of progressive rock without resorting to artificial technical excesses, thus achieving the rare feat of establishing “intellectual music” in the mainstream.
