Dear Emerson, Lake and Palmer
I know I was very young, but I had such high hopes... The Nice... King Crimson... Atomic Rooster...

The eponymous first album was promising. But for the next three or four years you made me waste my pocketmoney on your tedious, pretentious drivel, get beaten up at school for wearing an ELP badge and you generally fucked my adolescent life up. Do you have any idea how hard it was for an ELP fan to get a date, let alone a snog?

I hold you responsible for the fact that I 'went punk' at the earliest opportunity and wasted yet more money on stupid clothes, haircuts and - *shudders* - eyeliner.

Yours more in sorrow than anger,

MisterPunch

Yeah
I thought that for a while too, and it's true that they are great musicians, but they're a bit wanky and pretentious really. Some classic tracks, but many failures.

Many, many failures.

The ex was obsessed with ELP, 30-odd years ago
Benny The Bouncer I could cope with, but hearing 'You are my divine and universal whore!' whispered in my ear during an intimate moment somewhat spoiled the mood.
