Music WI: Emerson, Lake, and Mitchell

The Vulture

Banned
Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell briefly considered creating a group with Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. He turned down the offer, and Emerson and Lake went with Carl Palmer instead, forming the group ELP.

If Mitchell had joined up, how would music history be changed?
 
The pretentious suck factor of ELP would have been reduced by 1/3, which is good. Plus, ELM gives the band an arboreal symbol (cymbal?).
