The interesting thing about the flourishing scene of the mid 60's to early 70's was that most of the Rock Musicians were trained first in Classical Music. In other words they understood notation and timing as well as melody and harmony. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were all students of the London Conservatory, as was the Organist for Uriah Heep. Most all had at least some classical training. So, by understanding higher level music they were able to create higher level Rock.
Thanks for slapping one enormous tile into the mosaic of my music arsenal!
Why TF aren't these bands on the radio here!
You're welcome Eric.
I'd recommend the live concert DVD's, "End of an Era" and "From Wishes to Eternity". That along with their album "Once", and some of their earlier works such as "Century Child", "Wishmaster", and "Oceanborn".
Their last album, "Dark Passion Play", sucked. They fired their singer, Tarja Turunen, and replaced her with a wannabe pop diva. They used to be one of the best live bands ever, now they're more like a club band. It's a shame their egos got the best of them.
As far as why aren't they on the radio, well, it seems like a bit of social engineering is at play where they only allow hip hop bands to make it big here in the US these days, along with a few token rock bands to keep the crackers happy.
