Re: Unfortunately, I know of no pop music today

"When I was a teenager, I got into Emerson, Lake, and Palmer for its complexity and power. They made it 'cool' to use a pipe organ or timpani with the drum kit. It was they who introduced me to classical with their variations on Copland, Moussorgsky, and Ginastera."

I think digitized playback has mangled this band's music as much as any.... Before digitization, ELP was a big audiophile fave, after digitization, it became "just another rock band"....

I think ELP's "Karn Evil 9" is one of the all-time great rock works.... I think one of the things that makes one obsessive about hi-fi is being able to capture the dynamic and rhythmic complexities of such music. Not to mention one work I regret never hearing live.
