Best Emerson, Lake & Palmer Albums

Emerson, Lake & Palmer was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in 1970. The band consisted of keyboardist Keith Emerson, singer, bassist, and producer Greg Lake, and drummer and percussionist Carl Palmer. With 4.5 million RIAA-certified albums sold in the US, and an estimated 48 million sold worldwide, they were one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands in the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).

Artists such as Iron Maiden and Dream Theater have cited ELP as one of their influences. Even video game composers such as Koji Kondo (the composer for Mario and The Legend of Zelda) and Nobuo Uematsu (the composer of most of the titles in the Final Fantasy series) have cited ELP as an influence.
