The Very Best of Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The Very Best of Emerson, Lake & Palmer is a greatest hits album by the British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 2000.

Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the compilation 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote that "diehards will probably not need it (even if the liner notes are quite good), but since it condenses much of the band's noteworthy moments to one disc, casual fans will likely find this a collection to embrace."
