Neither, to be honest.

Oh well, if they ever sounded like medieval music, even medieval festival (I wonder if carnival would be an adequate description), then I'm sure I would love it. But they sound like, I don't know, Brazilian carnivals come to my mind. I just can't stand that stuff.

"Take A Pebble", a much richer track.

Take a Pebble. It comes from the only good ELP album.

Take a Pebble.
  
I love both its studio and live versions, both piano sections are sheer beautiness and elegance, but each one in its slightly diverse way - the little bit faster tempo on my fave live version WCBMFTTSTNE makes for that typical blasting energy feeling of Keith's live shows, astounding indeed, and the conclusion is quite a bit more hooking; however, the WCBMFTTSTNE lacks that even more intense second piano section of the studio version, my favourite part of TAB, just before the conclusion.

Trilogy; it encapsulates all that is great about ELP in one relatively short song!
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Well obviously, he is just a pale imitator. Kareoke Garfunkel maybe..

Pebble......though Trilogy is a close second .
 
And I agree with Dellinger above that the 'carnival/beer hall' stuff ruins their flow of music for me on many of their albums.

I think Trilogy by a little bit. Take a Pebble is very beautiful and soft, while Trilogy is rockier and proggier and crazy. However, the first suffers for me from an overlong middle section that drags a bit too long... I prefer it without it, even if it makes it almost a pop song instead of a prog song. And Trilogy suffers from the third part... I have always hated when ELP goes into that carnival-like mode, I just can't stand them.

Trilogy, an archetypal schizo ELP song, starts off all classical and romantic then goes into a Moog freakout.
