        ELP are one of those bands I know I should like but whom I can't
stand. If I was trying to reason it I'd say that the format tries to do
far more than a three-piece band can manage, and that one Hammond no
matter how skilfully handled can't be an orchestra. But in terms of my
actual feelings on the matter I find them intolerable within three minutes
(so I can just about handle `Jeremy Bender' though I think it's
stupid) and longer than that and I begin to feel as if Emerson's drilling
through my temples with that bloody organ. I'm sure they may be stuff out
there that they did that I wouldn't mind so much but I'm not sufficiently
masochistic to go looking for it.

        Rush on the other hand I don't mind. So I guess I fit your pattern
:-) Yours,
           Jon
