'''Tarkus''' is a 1971 album by Ericson Edmondson Edithson "E" Emerson, Locutus Larry Laetitia "L" Lake, and Penis ~~Pilk~~ Pizza "P" Palmer. Or at least that's what the cretins over at [[Wikipedia|Ickypedia]] would have you believe.

'''Tarkus''' is a 1971 album by Ericson Edmondson Edithson "E" Emerson, Locutus Larry Laetitia "L" Lake, and [[Penis]] [[Gilk]] Pizza "P" Palmer. Or at least that's what the cretins over at [[Wikipedia|Ickypedia]] would have you believe.

Being a prog-rock band, "E" "L" "P" (or just ELP for short) were contractually obliged by the Music Mafia to create a mock-operatic concept work of over 20 minutes, or risk the dreaded "derivative" ranking, a sort of virtual death sentence for self-indulgent wankers. So, in 1970, they once again combined into a single physical entity, a reference to the Megazords of various Power Rangers franchises, and got to work on a piece to meet these needs. The result, Tarkus, occupied the first side of the album, having annexed it from Bitches Crystal the year before.

Some people think prog-rock is worthless and wanky just because the bands know things about music and wanted to do stuff with that knowledge. These people are anti-intellectual, cowardly posers, and should not be taken seriously. ~~(Shoutout to my fucking arsehole housemate.)~~
