 has the ELP fanclub gone soft in my absence.  The Barbarian lays waste to Living Sin. That has to be the heaviest ELP track bar none.

come on ELP fans!! We have been beaten down, beaten in PA's polls by lesser entities like Genesis. We have been embarassed by amateur 2nd rate bands like Camel. At least they were prog bands. Are you going to let our beloved group, that more so than any group made Prog Rock what it is, lose to... LATE 80's RUSH!! No. It is your duty as standard bearers and possessors of the true wisdom that ELP rules all to make sure ELP wins this poll. For those not swayed by my eloquent passion.... I'll make you a deal. Vote for ELP and I'll dedicate an album of the day to you and buy the first round if we ever get to meet. So vote early.. vote often if like me you do have multiple ID"s long hidden in case of emergencies. This is one! VOTE ELP. Not GOP... ELP

these days.. *notes your joined date* Dude ELP HAS been a curse word for 40 years!! The ELP fanclub means to change that. First we take down Rush.. then we right the wrong that done so long ago, that I never forgot nor forgave, and finally defeat f**king Camel in a one on one winner take all poll. Then we take on the king of soporific prog itself... Genesis.

I joined in last year but I read some older threads, where they had higher consideration than in some recent ones, it can be only my impression though.  I can help defeating Rush and Genesis, but not f**king Camel

I like some Rush music a lot (mainly Moving Pictures thru Power Windows), but it's basically some the best standard rock out there. Not comparable to one of the God-bands of prog. This song match-up is no exception.

the point exactly I was trying to make. Everyone loves Rush, even me in my funny little way but this isn't the Necromancer we are talking about it is from the 'lost years' of the groups output.

hear hear! Well said. There is a difference between the two. Look no further that YS to see that. That album is amazing. Take the 3 minutes of the shear violence of The Barbarian and imagine a group making nearly an entire album (4/5) of that. Yet it was in the last one that shows the real difference between shear violence and HEAVY. I wonder if there are any new people around who haven't heard that album. Amazing stuff Richard. There have been some great, great reviews of it, however there was always one that stuck out as the best review of it that was done on the Gnosis site. Brilliant review. Greg Northrup

Ys

Il Balleto di Bronzo - Ys
Il Balleto di Bronzo's Ys is an unequivocal classic, and
stands as one of the very best albums out of Italy, and perhaps among the
finest examples of dark, heavy progressive. However, newbies to the
Italian scene might want to approach this one with caution, since it can
be tougher to get into than some of the other popular Italian works. This
was one of the first Italian albums I got, and I was frankly unprepared
for it. The pyrotechnic keyboards, thundering rhythms, the angular,
punishing guitars and the abrasive vocals made for a work that I found
initially dense and unrewarding. For an album that many have hailed as
the best progressive rock album of all time, I was a little disappointed.
Of course, I've come around by now, and certainly hold this album in high
regard as one of the jewels of Italian prog, but that personal anecdote
should serve as a caveat for those expecting to be blown away immediately,
especially if not particularly predisposed towards the more dissonant
branches of progressive rock.
Still, Ys is a complete monster. The music on here is
thundering, cacophonous and simply unrelenting in its sheer, brute force.
This also stands as one of the best keyboard-based albums of all time;
Gianni Leone employs the full range of classic keys, from Hammond, Moog
and Mellotron to piano and harpsichord, pitting them in savage, fiery
duels that will absolutely tear your head off. These are contrasted
against violent guitar riffs and surging basslines, making for a chaotic,
mindbendingly complex ride. The music is punctuated by Leone's
caterwauling operatic vocals, which are perhaps the toughest part of the
album to get into, but are eventually endearing and nothing if not
emotional. Take "Introduzione", an absolute beast of a cut that builds
from volcanic climax to climax, as Hammonds and Moog duel it out for
supremacy. Take the opening riff of "Epilogo," with its brilliant
arpeggiated theme that simply bursts at the seams with intensity. The
entire album is a series of mindblowing passages, with few spots of
respite to be found. An indispensable Italian classic, without a doubt.
