Palmer's manager suggested the collaboration.

No but he was a multi instrumentalist with solo albums. He was in a band called Hush too.

For such a derided album 'Love Beach' sure gets a lot of attention here!

What? In a poll specifically about it? I wonder why...

The fact that it is the poll in the first place!

Hmmm. Not sure I'm with you. Do you mean this one poll? Are you including all past polls? (if there are any)

I guess it just shows how disappointed people are with it. I often find discussions based on how bad it is. This poll is another example of this.

If anything this poll is revealing how much people like it.

Ya, it was catchy, but also embarrassing at the same time. I think they should have gone incognito and disguised themselves for the music videos

Just a fact that many folks can't grasp - 'Love Beach is NOT the dog it's made out to be'...............

a fair summation would be it has some good moments but shows a band in decline its gets a bad rap because: a) the cover b) it was a 'contractural obligation album' c) the band themselves didn't like it that's plenty of reasons why it has such a bad reputation but for me its an 'ELP album'. I can recognise it as ELP and if they hadn't made it we would always wonder 'what if?'.

I have always thought of Berry as Trevor Rabin or Billy Sherwood: a younger guy who had been exposed to classic prog and liked it but gave up following its true values and just hoped that they could use its foundations and fanbase to create a new, mainstream oriented success story, they teamed up with the broken dinosaurs to achieve their goal in an easier way, shortcutting half of the process (possibly a respectable vision but they failed, not achieving neither mainstream success not recognition by the prog fans). At any rate we can not blame them, they were a product of their time, Asia or GTR tried the same without being pulled by a young guy.

Good overview of Bob Berry. I don't know him personally but am from the same area and recall that his family owned "Berry Piano and Organ" in the 60's-70's in San Jose. In 1978 I was playing in a local prog band and we all went to see the band he was in, "Hush" play a free show from the parking lot of "The Wherehouse" record store in Mountain View. It was pretty pedestrian music with a bit of prog tossed in. I remember we were jealous because they had great gear and a PA In May 1993 Steve Hackett came to a local club called "The Cabaret" and the opening band was billed as, "Bob Berry and Friends Unplugged" or something. I thought they were pretty awful and remember them doing a cover of "Fanfare for the Common Man" that was at least 10 minutes too long. Edited by The.Crimson.King - April 08 2013 at 13:16 |
