The classic rock world has been rocked by the death of yet another great musician. Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and The Nice) died yesterday. Emerson was arguably the finest pianist on the planet at one time and helped forge the popularity of progressive rock in the early 1970s. His contributions to the world of progressive/classic rock were unprecedented, and it is with great sadness The Choice salutes his incredible musical legacy.

I have added some Emerson, Lake & Palmer tracks in to high rotation so we can all appreciate the progressive rock brilliance and artistry of this great musician. He was a true pathfinder and originator.
