Just a suggestion but when you rank bands it would be wise to qualify your opinions with the words, "At this point of time", because your views and tastes generally change over time according to the number of times you play a piece of music, what other music you play over time and personal taste in particular music. Nothing at all wrong with preferring Love Beach to Trilogy except to set in stone a preference for Love Beach over Trilogy.

None of my rankings and ratings are set in stone, but I'll stick with them for the time being. I remember being disappointed with the technically demanding Brain Salad Surgery album when I first heard it back in the 1970's and I'm still not a big fan of the album over 40 years later. Confused
 
Regarding Love Beach, I only heard the album for the first time last week, and I may grow to love the album even more over time. Then again, maybe I won't. Smile

Here we are again "Love Beach" the honest truth is side two is excellent the first side is awful imho. But ah different strokes for different folks...Wink

After all the bad things I'd heard about ELP's much-derided Love Beach album, I was surprised to find myself actually liking the album, but I'm in general agreement with you: the Officer and a Gentleman suite on Side Two is much better than the Pop songs on Side One. Smile

^ Don't worry. I've already come to the conclusion that Love Beach isn't going to be shown much love around here, and no amount of crying is going to change that.  Tongue

^ They sound like the lyrics to a Bee Gees song, but in a good way, not in a bad way.  Smile
 
Cheesy lyrics are one of my guilty pleasures. After all, who can forget Barry Manilow's "Bermuda Triangle, You gotta see it from my angle." Tongue

ELP have what I consider to be one of the all-time worst lyrics, and that's on BSS -

"Every day a little sadder, a  little madder, someone get me a ladder".
