    Both blocked here, love me some 70s prog rock though. I like ELP more than King Crimson though.

    I noticed that. The live versions are crap compared to the studio versions that I linked to. Oh well. I also prefer ELP overall. I just wanted to hear Indiscipline again! Haven't heard it in forever. "No matter how I take it apart, no matter how I break it down, it remains consistent. I WITH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE IT!"

    If anyone wants to hear these tunes, simply aquire a copy by your preferred methodology. They are both on the album "Discipline (1989)".

    I will, thanks. I'll tell RIAA you told me to do it.

    EDIT: Oh, and Booo! on anyone speaking low of King Crimson. Besides I think Gentle Giant were closer to King Crimson than ELP ever was. Better comparison if you want to go there.

    Music always sounds better when you stick it to the band. I'm sick of big creativity pushing us around.

    Wasn't talking down on King Crimson, but I like ELP better. I like Gentle Giant as well, Acquiring the Taste and Free Hand are two of my most favorite albums. While we're talking 70s prog rock, might as well throw Focus in there too

    And the obligatory Van der Graaf Generator, speaking of the ones that I like. And I do like ELP, a lot . Historically we would also have two other obligatory; Jethro Tull and Magma. But I confess was never much into either, for different reasons.

    Jethro Tull eccentricity never really caught with me, despite being a fan of other eccentric acts like Frank Zappa. But also the music; Aqualung, considered a progressive and general musical classic, instead bores me to death.

    Magma, because they were French. No, kidding. Because I could never really understand their work. The whole language mythology they created for no clear artistic reason other than being different (maybe I'm being harsh here) and the coral group thing in almost all of their songs... just not my thing.

    For me,

    KC, GG, ELP, VdGG in this order.
