from bad to worse
It sure didn't take long to go from clone bands to trashing ELP.
They're not my favorite, but they're damn good.
Tarkus is just awesome. Remeber this is 1972, not 2002. There's some OK stuff on Works - agreed, not their greatest. And come on, we all know Love Beach is a piece of crap!
The very first instrumental portion of Spock's Beard's "The Light" is lifted right off of Tarkus. There's a Cairo tune that sounds just like it too. Trilogy is indeed great. ELP released their records quickly, as was the norm in the 70's - not one every 2 years like now. That's why it seems quick.
I've seen Par Lindh a few times - his stuff is a little too over the top for me, and lacks passion.
How about the Marillion part in Grendel that rips off Supper's Ready? Great band, BAD move.
I saw Anekdoten do Starless in 1995 - a thunderous version. However, they are NOT KC clones.
There's a lot of snippets of songs that "imitate" others. but clone bands I try to avoid.
