A great and wildly successful band in the '70s, they have been obscured by other progressive acts like Pink Floyd by today'
s youth. All three members of the band (Keith
Emerson on keyboards,
Greg Lake on vocals and bass, and Carl Palmer on drums) were virtuosos at their respective instruments. Keith
Emerson's awe-inspiring skill can be seen in all of their live albums and on epic tracks like Tarkus and Karn Evil 9: First Impression. Must-listens include: Tarkus, Karn Evil 9 (First Impression Part 2), From the Beginning, Knife Edge, Hoedown, Lucky Man, Jerusalem, Peter Gunn, Fanfare for the Common Man, Still... You Turn Me On, Tiger In a Spotlight, Trilogy, Infinite Space (Conclusion),
Bitches Crystal, A Time and A Place and many others.
