Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Keith Emerson included the track Lucky Man as a late addition to complete the album, having written the song when he was twelve. It eventually became the group's most recognizable piece of music on the radio.
The debut captures a power trio testing the limits of rock instrumentation during 1970. The production showcases a virtuosic blend of classical influences and heavy synthesizer work that set the standard for the progressive rock movement.
