progressive rock, art rock
Emerson, Lake & Palmer were the definitive progressive rock supergroup, renowned for their virtuosic musicianship and grandiose style. Their sound is a spectacular fusion of classical music, hard rock, and jazz, defined by Keith Emerson's heroic keyboards and Greg Lake's soaring vocals. Though key members have passed, their music represents the pinnacle of ambitious and theatrical rock, often carried on by surviving member Carl Palmer's tribute tours.
