Le Orme - keyboards virtuosity slighly weaker than Keith, but the mellow beauty of guitars and Italian vocals makes it more interesting than slightly dull ELP

Le Orme were often ponderous, when they should have concentrated more on progressing the melody, my vote goes to ELP for superior skillz and song writingz (and Carl Palmer is the man)

Well, three polls comparing Italian giants with British classics - Am I observing a thread here? Mandrakeroot, what makes you feel such patriotic mood? Milan won with Manchester on Wednesday, and the Rome Founding Day was two weeks ago?

Love them both, but prefer Le Orme a bit: a more subtle ELP.

damnit.... the only thing worst would have been Osanna v. ELP.
ELP... but it hurts to vote against Le Orme  Emerson, Lake, and Palmer... it simply doesn't get much better than that. THE ultimate prog trio...

There are three E.L.P albums that I absolutely love, but I play Le Orme much more.

Cool! Le Orme's in the lead.

I love Le Orme, but any comparison with ELP is IMO rather ridiculous.
ELP - better vocalist, keyboard player, drummer; better music ideas etc.

That might be true, but it just doesn't help. I prefer all three in Le Orme, and I defenatly think Michi Dei Rossi is the better drummer. If good taste, and great melodic flow counts for something.

OK, I find Italian Symphonic Prog very, very interesting, I love Le Orme, but I'm not going to change my above mentioned opinion, which refers to music skills

There is no doubt Keith is virtuoso when it comes to hammering the Hammond but his limitation to piano and organ, missing melotron, synthesizers and acoustic instruments makes him somewhat one - eyed.
And the rule that in the kingdom of blinded one - eyed is the king does not apply to Le Orme who can use their both eyes. And really you don't need to be a virtuoso and show off to deliver interesting tunes and clever compositions.

That's an easy one. ELP can't compare to Le Orme! Mostly because I've only heard one or two ELP tunes vs the entire Le Orme collection.
