Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Brain Salad Surgery. Of the Big Five 1970s prog bands, ELP is the least consistent. In the space of one album the group could slip from dazzling proggy heights to dizzying lows. I don't have an ELP album that I love from beginning to end. One of the closest is Brain Salad Surgery, most widely known as the studio home of the half-hour epic "Karn Evil 9." It's a classic, and the band throws in a typical Lake ballad ("Still . . . You Turn Me On") and classical adaptations ("Jerusalem" and "Tocatta") to boot.
