Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! Destin and Drew discuss the wildly successful Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (ELP). ELP quickly established themselves as one of the progressive rock icons of the early 1970s with a defining feature of their music being a heavy emphasis on very quick keyboard riffs and solos deftly performed by the talented Keith Emerson. Drew and Destin discuss the ingenious compositions that made this album a landmark achievement for the band. Thunderous drumming, lightning-quick keyboard solos, and glistening vocals all combine together to create some of the most bizarre, yet addictive music to ever come from the prog-rock genre. Just as impressive as the music was their stage presence. Theatrical live shows with elaborate set dressing and mind-blowing performances gave ELP the reputation of producing jaw-dropping spectacles for their audiences. ELP was one of the most ambitious bands during the progressive rock genre, and Brain Salad Surgery is arguably their most notable work to date.
