I think it really died for good around 1990 when grundge hit. Up until that point though, the local rock stations still had spotlights for the classic stuff like Led Zep, and so forth. I've heard of Emerson Lake and Palmer but can't recal actually hearing any of their music and can't think of anyone other then Namlook that they influenced.

If you want to look at general popularity, sales or radio play, I'm afraid that's quite another matter. Rather than it being dead, it continues to live like a huge tree whose root system chokes out (at least in terms of popular taste) things which lists like these are all about. The funny thing about that stuff is that a lot of people who refuse to give it up didn't know the often better, relatively 'underground' stuff back then and they don't know it now, either. They know the big names which their local radio station played and which sold out huge arenas. jeff ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 06:34:34 -0800 (PST) From: Roy SeGuine Subject: (fax) International FAX Day 2003 International FAX Day 2003!

The funny thing is that I find most people who refused to be moved from their "classic rock" moorings don't even know the genre very well at all - I've turned many of them onto bands like The Move, The Pretty Things, etc ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2002 07:05:49 +1000 From: Geoff Elgey Subject: Re: (fax) who influences Pete Namlook? G'day, >>Pete Namlook notes three groups as being >>influencial...i was quite suprised about his third >>mention; >> >>Emerson, Lake and Palmer. who are these guys??? Purveyors of prog-rock that focused on huge keyboards rather than guitar wizadry. I picked up the "Brain Salad Surgery" album when I was a lad because the cover was by H.R.Giger (from Alien fame). The music was a combination of updated hymns, vaudeville, instrumental faux-classical pieces, pop, redeemed (IMHO) by an inventive "Karn Evil 9", which was the last song on Side 1 and all of Side 2. Nothing else of theirs really interested me. Although popular in the early 1970's, by the time they released the "Works Vol I" double LP around 1977, punk had arrived and ELP seemed like a bloated whale stranded on the beach of irrelevance.
