Emerson, Lake & Palmer could've actually been a really good band if hadn't been for Emerson ruining perfectly good bass-drums-vocal tracks by going *bleeee* *nyerp* *boing* over them in the wrong key for no readily appreciable reason

Their best records didn't feature Rick Wakeman

Really? You wouldn't consider Fragile or Close to the Edge among their best records?

[mikosquirrel]

What I've heard of Close to the Edge has been spectacularly awful, I'm afraid. Exhibit A against prog in general. I'm not familiar with Fragile.

A peek at Wikipedia does however tell me that Wakeman's only contribution of material to Fragile was a rearrangement of Brahms.
