Roger Waters (on ELP and prog rock)
"Well that wasn't about anything. It wasn't about anything. It was a
construct in order to sell records and be successful and all that. It
didn't have its roots in somebody's passionate belief in human life.
It had its roots in wanting to be successful in the world of pop music
in the 1970s."

Keith Emerson (on Roger Waters)
"Either become a politician or a musician. Although he made a lot of
money with his mono tonal ramblings on the latter I think he should
stick to the former as long as he preaches his politics in some remote
area like a worm sanctuary in Siberia."

Who wins in a fist fight? Roger or Keith

Keith Emerson wins by a mile. His/ELP's music was FAR more important
than the bong-induced crap Floyd managed to vomit up every few years
as "albums".
