Favorite ELP Song

[Ted]

Okay - I have been asked to start this thread - I think I am being used - - but that is okay - I get to discuss my fav. group, ELP

Now I would like to know your Favorite ELP song - but not just which one - but WHY you like it. As I mentioned in the other thread, my reason for hesitating there was because I needed to think about this.

My favorite ELP song - I think is: Pirates. Now I understand that some don't like it - some do but the reason I like it is the BROAD range of emotion, music and style it has. The music is at times BOMBASTIC , and at other times, soft and quiet. It tells a story, it is sweeping, it is PROG ROCK and ORCHESTRA combined - working together - as never was possible with The NICE, not one then the other, but together - serving as a whole. I like it!

So what is your fav ELP song?

Wonderingly yours,
Ted
