John Lord of Deep Purple :)

I just finished teaching a course in the history of rock music, and spent the better part of an hour on DP's Concerto for Rock Band and Orchestra with Lord's "cadenza" in the first movement, along with an analysis of ELP's Hoedown "cover" vis-à-vis the Copland "original." The students, most of whom could name you every famous guitarist since Elvis, had never heard of either before. What a shame.
