>I have everything that ELP, Yes, and Rush have ever recorded. They are gods to me. Yes and ELP went seriously downhill, but in their prime and even for a few albums after their prime, their albums were just unbelievable. The Yes song "And You and I" (from their "Close to the Edge" album) is the most emotional song I've ever heard. And a song called "Siberian Khatru" (same album) features some unbelievable keyboard and steel guitar work from Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe. The word "masterpiece" doesn't do justice to their music.

Speaking of ELP: I saw Asia a couple of weeks ago. The solos were great (youprobably know who was on guitar), but Palmer's drum solo was one of the best, perhaps the best solo I've ever seen. Even better made by the fact that it was in a smaller club with only a couple of hundred people - seeing the guys across a couple of m is still better than on big screen. Heavily reccommended if they are in your area - they are still masters.
