1. At one time that was the opening theme for Formula 1 broadcasts in Brazil

If I got to chose one for modern times, I'd use "Speed" by Paul Oakenfold.

By the way: I want to go to the alternate universe where Jimi Hendrix joined ELP (nearly did in this one).

2. One of my favorite Copland pieces.

It's a masterpiece.

Imo, ELP didn't need to "improve" it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Another real fucking band! They don't make 'em like that any more.

Now it's all rap, hip hop, and overproduced shit and shlock, or asshole metal like Linkon Park or Staind.

So said that we don't have good bands being created so much any more -- bands with musicians of uber-excessive talent, like Yes, ELP, Genesis, Floyd, King Crimson, Zappa, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, etc.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. And a brilliant solo "Lucky Man" except he's FUCKING CHEWING GUM!

What kind of performer chews gum while on stage?

At least with this genius, it doesn't matter - you can't tell by the singing that his mouth is full of gum.

GODDAMN GENIUS!
