Close to the Edge and Trilogy are too Big smile

I'll vote Close to the Edge because it needs to catch up to Foxtrot. Come on, it's Close to the Edge for Pete's sake!!

Didn't realise this was an ELP v Pink Floyd poll

Tough one. It's really a three-way tie between Yes, ELP and Tull for me, but I'll give it to ELP today. Three legendary albums right there, no debate.

No one can Ignore E.L.P abilities and potential specially Emerson key playing but unfortunately  E.L.P have "a few" good albums (IMO) BUT never forget their masterpieces in Progressive music history :
E.L.P , TARKUS , TRILOGY and great " Brain Salad Surgery "
