Tarkus sticks out the most. Looks like this'll be a rout, though.

Are multiple votes allowed? If not, then Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus. Otherwise, I'll add Genesis - Nursery Cryme and YES - Fragile.
 
EDIT: Multiple votes are not allowed.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Too many great albums to choose one over the rest.

I narrowed it down to 10 poll options instead of my usual 25 options to hopefully make it easier to choose. At least that was the theory anyway. Smile

Thanks for trying, but among these albums, is quite hard to choose one. Depending on the mood, I could pick one today, and change it tomorrow. Great, fantastic music in all of them.

'Tarkus' without a doubt (and yes, I love side 2 as well) and 'Pictures' is also stunning - ELP live were a force to be reckoned with.  As for the other biggies, those Yes albums are too uneven and much as I love 'Nursery Cryme' they were yet to hit their stride...

For me much better than both 1972 & 1973. A top four:

Nursery Cryme
Asylum
Fragile
Waters of Change
