ELP: A Story of Musical Greatness, Stunning Collapse, and Suicide
Progressive rock's short but rich history has seen many important bands, but one stands out. Emerson, Lake & Palmer are not just one of the genre's mastodons, but a band that can be used to study its history.
This trio embodied all the strengths and weaknesses of progressive rock, but perhaps even more importantly, they rose to prominence alongside prog rock and disappeared with it.
Therefore, the new video on the KONTRAPUNKT channel is about Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the genre, and especially the time when they conquered the world.
