Lake passed away Tuesday at the age of 69 after a "stubborn battle with cancer". Cancer sucks. This comes nine months after Keith Emerson passed away.
I really liked ELP when I was younger. I still like them now, but I now recognize that the prog rock scene has more than a little bit of elements of improv jazz that I'm not a huge fan of. Still, I'll be giving my ELP+ playlist a workout today: the + is that it includes the albums Three and Emerson, Lake & Powell.
