Geez! - there's a lot of 'You must be f***in' kidding' suggestions on here! Honourable exceptions for Cum on Feel the Noise, Kashmir and Bat out of Hell.
Two to add:




OK, since you ask, I can think up a couple more!


........or a spot of piss-take punk from my one time mates in Edinburgh!

I'm assuming that 'Another Girl, Another Planet' has been cited.

If not, it f***ing should be

Not normally a fan of these flaired-trousered ninnies,

But this is stunning. And yes I did see them at the Dome.

'Children Of The Revolution' is a pretty good intro.

However, 'Another Girl, Another Planet' is better.

Utterly brutal. ELP's masterpiece. From delicate intro to brutal synth takeover.

Possibly the track I'd post in a thread entitled 'surprising' in terms of how it starts and how it unfolds.

My favourite band of the era. I've seen Akkerman live many times - awesome guitarist. But Van Leer is both brilliant and bonkers.

What sort of question has Kashmir, Cum on Feel the Noize and Wuthering Heights as the answers?
