Emerson Lake & Palmer - Works Volume 1
This album post-dates Punk's year-zero, but if it had been released a little earlier would have been precisely the sort of thing that gave rise to punk rock:
- A double album, with three sides devoted to solo compositions, and the fourth being full band material
- Loads of oafish time signatures
- Several tracks being "adaptations" of orchestral pieces
- Includes a Keith Emerson "Piano Concerto"
- A full orchestra used on most of the album
- Lots of weakish pretentious lyrics
Not a great album, but worth a listen once in a while !?
