The classic 1972 album Greg Lake wanted Emerson, Lake and Palmer to be remembered for
A prog rock classic.
Emerson Lake & Plamer
The Emerson, Lake and Palmer record the band wished they’d never made: “Tired creatively”
“It wasn’t that quality.”
The one band Roger Waters said meant nothing to him: “That wasn’t about anything”
No real substance there.
The prog-rock album that simulates oral sex: “Tone down the phallic object”
The more nasty side of rock and roll.
The one drummer Phil Collins never enjoyed: “Does nothing for me at all”
Nowhere near his musical taste.
The one musician Tony Banks considered a musical God: “You’ll always be prog God to me”
The genius behind the synthesisers.
The bands Emerson, Lake & Palmer thought they towered over: “We thought we were the best”
“It’s very intellectual-sounding music…”
