Emerson, Lake and Palmer    (1970)

ELP's debut album, consists of many great songs, including: "Take A Pebble," "The Three Fates" and "Lucky Man!"

Tarkus    (1971)

This contains one of ELP's best extended pieces- "Tarkus," in addition to "The Only Way/Infinite Space!"

Pictures At An Exhibition    (1971)

An Emerson, Lake and Palmer live version of Modest Mussorgsky's masterpiece! Given a less than superb rating, due to the inclusion of "Nutrocker!" The remastering is extremely impressive!

Trilogy    (1972)

Trilogy is the best of ELP's early albums! The songs: "The Sheriff," "From The Beginning," "Hoedown," "Trilogy" and "Abaddon's Bolero" are among some of ELP's best! The real masterpiece, however is the "Endless Enigma" suite! Consisting of three parts: "The Endless Enigma Part One," "Fugue" and "The Endless Enigma Part Two," this represents Emerson, Lake and Palmer at their most impressive! The only song on this cd which is not up to par is "Living Sin."

Brain Salad Surgery    (1973)

Considered by many ELP fans to be ELP's best album, it consists of many great songs: "Jerusalem," "Still You Turn Me On," "Toccata" and the "Karn Evil 9 suite!" The "Karn Evil 9 suite is divided into 4 parts: "Karn Evil 9 First Impression Part One," "Karn Evil 9 First Impression Part Two," "Karn Evil 9 Second Impression" and "Karn Evil 9 Third Impression!" Each of these parts create a magnificent suite, which is probably ELP's best concept piece! However, "Benny The Bouncer" is ELP's most annoying song! The interview which follows the last song is magnificent!

Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends  

A thoroughly impressive version of ELP's work in a live setting. I especially enjoyed: "Jeremy Bender/The Sheriff," "Karn Evil 9," and the improvisational sections of "Take A Pebble!"
