Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) were a British (A style of rock music that emerged in the 1970s; associated with attempts to combine rock with jazz and other forms; intended for listening and not dancing) progressive rock group.
Keith Emerson complained in public (on the internet) that although he and Carl Palmer worked out on a daily basis to maintain their musical skills, Greg Lake hardly took effort to do the same.

Lake learned to read music and also to play pieces by Paganini, among other classical composers, but his aspirations lay with emulating the sound of his favorite band of the era, Cliff Richard and The Shadows, and their lead guitarist, Hank B. Marvin.
Lake's production experience as a member of King Crimson [+] (who had produced their own debut album) also served ELP in good stead, and his songwriting became the creative nucleus for the group's first three studio albums.
A second album, Manoeuvers, followed in 1983, but by that time the creative and commercial bloom were both off of the rose, and Lake took his first break from music.

 Emerson, Lake and Powell Album Review (Classic Rock, 2001)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Emerson, Lake and Palmer burst onto the scene in 1970 at the Isle of Wight festival.
Taking the album as a whole, Emerson’s keyboard work is at its brilliant best, and he constantly sparks off Powell, who seems to revel in the space afforded him, wnile Lake's rich vocals are crystal clear and well up in the mix, by turns powerful and gentle.
But with Palmer leading his own band, Lake holed up in a studio working on another solo album, and Emerson preparing a second piano concerto, it’s likely that ELP, with or without Palmer, have probably enjoyed their finest, and possibly their final, hour.

 Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Live at Humphrey's
Without a new album to support -- unless you count the dual releases of ELP on the King Biscuit Flower Hour and the Isle of Wight performance -- ELP is currently touring the Americas, headlining small venues, abbreviating their stage show, warmed up from the Tull gigs, and ready to stun, shock and amaze.
Greg Lake treated the audience to an inspiring rendition of "From the Beginning," while Keith Emerson demonstrated his placid ability to tickle the ivories on "Creole Dance" and "Honky Tonk Train." Carl Palmer exhibited extraordinary precision and dexterity, especially in lieu of his returning to an all-acoustic set.
Emerson was surprisingly low-key during his rounds on the Hammond, but the effect was still intact.

 Emerson, Lake & Palmer [www.progweed.net]
Emerson, Lake and Palmer were progressive rock's biggest super heroes during the 1970s, and paradoxically responsible both for some of the highlights, and lowlights, of our beloved genre.
Thus, a new album was recorded, Emerson, Lake and Powell, though this fared little better than than the original band's latter day mishaps, and the new incarnation splintered.
Emerson is obviously an awe-inspiring keyboardist and pianist, and the playing here is extremely wanky, not to mention Lake's unneccesary lyrical contributions.

 EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Emerson, Lake & Powell reviews and MP3
Both are Lake driven tracks, his voice sounding steady and clear, with a power to it which had been lacking on the immediately previous albums.
Lake is credited in the back cover of the album as playing basses and guitars, but I can`t say if in the other songs he played guitar too, as this album is dominated by the keyboards.
Emerson is "in hand" on the keyboards, Lake is "in voice" and Powell is doing a really great job in replacing Palmer, leaving on this LP a mark of his astonishing drumming style (we must not forget that he was coming from a hard rock and heavy metal experience).

Emerson's sheer mastery of the moog and flamboyant technical ability were incredible; his talent along with the dynamo drumming antics of Carl Palmer, won the band a legion of fans.
Emerson was widely regarded as one of the most talented keyboardists in the history of rock, and Palmer one of the finest drummers.
Lake has a mellow, pleasing voice in the earlier albums, though his later singing has been criticized as being overly dramatic and a little less on-key.

 Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Live At Montreux 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Emerson Lake and Palmer are one of those bands that really benefit from the greatest hits packages, because each of their albums typically had just as many bad songs mixed in with the good ones.
I can easily pull about ten songs from their catalogue that are some of the finest pieces of (I'll just label it progressive-rock for expediency) music ever produced, but the rest of their stuff is where we have to simply part as friends.
Guaranteeing acid flashbacks for at least half of the crowd, Emerson pulled out all of his famous concert tricks, such as stabbing his keyboard to death, riding it like a crazed rodeo clown, and literally wiping his ass with it.

Lake sings with great passsion, Powell tastefully pushes the whole thing forward with his "tree trunk" sticks, but most importantly, Emerson fully embraces the 80' s keyboard soundscape with electrifying effect.
Compare "Emerson, Lake and Powell" where drummer Cozy Powell replaces Carl Palmer with "The Power of Three" where the guitarist/vocalist is Robert Berry instead of Greg Lake and it is no contest.
Powell is/was just as good as Palmer albeit they have different styles (Powell being a thunder and lightening drummer while Palmer is a true geek technical wizard) but the somgs don't add up here.

Emerson's use of classical themes and soaring anthems combined with rock and blues pioneered the group's trademark sound.
In the late 1960's, Emerson, Lake and Palmer abandoned promising careers with other musical groups to start a band that would challenge their talent, and push their music to a new level.
Emerson is not, therefore, the groundbreaking discover of new compositional techniques with new technology, he is a traditional composer who uses technology (as an alternative to an actual orchestra) to "orchestrate" his works.

 No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Emerson Lake & Palmer
ELP is keyboard wizard Keith Emerson, originally from The Nice; bass/guitar/vocalist/songwriting Greg Lake, who came from King Crimson; and drummer Carl Palmer, who later joined Asia.
Despite the fact that Greg Lake was usually quite anti-Christian, or more likely anti-organized religion, this album features a traditional-style hymn written decades ago by William Blake.
My favorite tracks on the album is the 20 minute epic song "Officer and a Gentleman", which manages to come close to the greatness of past discs, and the instrumental "Canario".

This album is a must-buy for anyone who is interested in listening to good and innovative music.

The reason I am asking is that I have read that the Yes album Drama is not considered a real Yes album by Jon Anderson because he is not on it.
I'd say it was OK to class it as an ELP album.
In my opinion, this album is also pretty progressive for anything that was made in the 80's.

 Lake & Palmer Emerson Trilogy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
On their self-entitled debut album, ELP offered a balance between tracks featuring synthesizer overkill by keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson and the melodic compositions of guitarist Greg Lake, wherein Emerson turned in his organ for a piano.
Their second album, "Tarkus," went in the first direction, with the Tarkus Suite representing their best effort along those lines.
All in all, the high points on "Trilogy" are not as strong as on their debut album, but this certainly got ELP back on track for my money.

The album needed many hours of work, we are glad it's finished, but as usual is very hard to say if we are happy with the result.
One can summarize the gist of Greg Lake's lyrics and music as being one prolonged appeal for human sanity, and the degree to which his fans respond to this appeal remains the criteria by which one can measure his eventual success.
Hearing Greg Lake's music reminds me that those stars shine on, that all is not lost, that the night I'm longing for will surely arrive soon...very soon.

 Babyblaue Prog-Reviews: Emerson Lake & Powell: The Sprocket Sessions: Review
Die vor allem auf den damals neuen Stücken quietschigen, flachen - manche würden sagen "käsigen" - 80-er Keyboardsounds von Keith Emerson wurden zugunsten der ungewohnt deutlich hörbaren Bassgitarre von Lake etwas nach hinten gemischt.
Ansonsten gibt es hier die ganz langsam in Würde alternde Stimme von Lake, das auf mich etwas grobschlächtig wirkende Getrommel von Cozy Powell (mit dem unerläßlichen Schlagzeugsolo auf "Mars"), und nicht zuletzt den Altmeister Emerson in guter Spiellaune, der uns ungewollt wiederholt zeigt, dass sogar er beim Spielen Fehler machen kann.
