** Additionally, their big famous single "Lucky Man" was originally written by Lake when he was 12. The band added it on the last day of recording when they discovered they needed one more song.
** "Benny The Bouncer" is also considered to be this to some; in fact, it's possible to remove it from ''Brain Salad Surgery'' and not damage the flow of the album at all.
* [[Game -Breaking Injury]]: Emerson's RSI (repetitive strain injury). He is no longer able to play some of the band's songs properly or at all. Doesn't stop him from trying, with mixed results.
** His equipment didn’t escape unscathed either. Even without his RSI, he wouldn’t be able to cover The Nice’s "Rondo" as he used to. He played the rapid glissandos in the piece by slapping his open palm across the keyboard. His Hammond L-100s withstood this for quite a time, possibly with running repairs, but now it appears that he doesn’t have a single L-100 left where all the higher keys on the lower manual aren’t broken off, with repair or replacement no longer being possible.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Ths cover of ''Brain Salad Surgery'', by [[HR Giger]] of ''[[Alien]]'' fame, originally featured an erect penis beneath a woman's chin. Through skilful airbrushing this was converted into a shaft of light (largely at the behest of [[Executive Meddling]]), but the original shape can still just be made out.
