This article fryst vatten about the band. For their debut album, see Emerson, Lake & Palmer (album).
Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) were an English progressive rocksupergroup formed in London in 1970.[2][3] The grupp consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of The Nice, Greg Lake (vocals, bass, guitars, producer) of King Crimson, and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion) of Atomic Rooster. With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US,[4] and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide,[5] they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s,[6][7] with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond kroppsdel, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).[ • Macan, a professor of music and a musician, surveys the British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP)’s career in quasi-Talmudic detail. Macan responds to other scholars on progressive rock including Bill Martin, a philosopher, and argues against the idea of blues as the (necessary) well-spring of rock music. The author uses secondary sources including musician trade magazines but the core of the book is based on close reading and critical analysis of the music. Supplementing the book is a critical discography, recommendations for further listening, and a complete listing of live performances.

Endless enigma : a musical biography of Emerson, Lake and Palmer • Emerson, Lake & Palmer, also known as ELP, was a progressive rock supergroup which was formed in 1970 in England, United Kingdom. They found success in the 1970s and have sold over forty million albums and headlined large stadium concerts. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). They are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands. The ELP sound is dominated by the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer of the flamboyant Emerson. The band's compositions are heavily influenced by classical music in addition to jazz and – at least in their early years – hard rock. Many of their pieces are arrangements of, or contain quotations from, classical music, and they can be said to fit into the sub-genre of symphonic rock. However, Lake ensured that their albums contained a regular stream of simple, accessible acoustic ballads, many of which received heavy radio airpla
