Yes, you did.

No I didnt.


"Tons of rock solos... virtuosity... epics... you name it. these bands

You also talked about the pomposity of ELP's music, practically
simultaneous with posting the above.

huh?

It's as if thinking with "anger" rather than one's brain has become a
genuine epidemic around here. Be smarter, please.

And if you're really trying to claim you rated "pomposity" based on
non-musical issues, then this makes the pathetic narrowness of your
stylistic/chronlogical scope even more glaring.

Its not narrow at all. Anyone can be pompous. Look at yourself.


I names the Sex Pistols as well. Sex Pistols were pompous + jackasses.
Their music was basic angst ridden, thats all. You have a profound
inability to follow the topic.

You didn't say anything about the Sex Pistols until others mentioned
them. Since, as usual, you didn't think through your topic before
posting your grand proclamations about it.

They are pompous but not nearly enough to be in top 10.


You dont think Iron Maiden was pompous?

Yes, I do think they were pompous -- more pompous than several of your
picks, in fact. Try to be smarter. I protested the idea of labeling
*all* 80s metal bands "pompous."

No you said, none of the metal acts of the 80s are pompous. Now you
are backtracking.

This does not mean that I think none of
them were. See if you can follow points a little better.

Slayer?  Have you ever seen
any one of them perform live? Even on TV? Nope,,, since you hate
metal.

You really, REALLY shouldn't try to flame anyone on this issue, Concert
Virgin.

How do you know? I just was in a concert last week.


Well, it's a *nicer* word, certainly. ;)

And if one delivers songs with a "regal" tone despite having no
legitimate claim to royalty, I'd say that could be described as
"pompous."

ELP were royalty when it comes to mastering their instrument. You dont
know jack about prog music. Go back to prog 101.

Be smarter, please. Technical skills are not directly relevant to
whether an artist is "pompous" or not. And I thought you weren't saying
they made pompous music?

They are pompous on the whole... it is not their music only.
