Karn Evil 9 slightly over Tarkus, but I do prefer Tarkus slightly over Brain Salad Surgery.

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.

On the basis that we are limiting the discussion to the studio versions , then I have to vote for Karn Evil 9. However the live triple album version from 1974 of Tarkus is probably my favourite piece of music of all time. The extended Aquatarkus section is pure genius from Emerson. All bow before their master.

I go with the (almost entirely) acoustic epic 'Take a Pebble'. Unbeatable beauty; pictorial and evocative... beautiful raw piano, Lake's voice and Palmer's jazzy drumming of course. Then Trilogy... ...then Tarkus.

It’s either Tarkus or Karn Evil 9 because they are the most creative and well performed (genius!) out of these (in my mind). But I think it’s Tarkus for me because it just feels a bit more consistent and cohesive. But Keith’s playing in both epics is a genre in itself and something you use to describe other keyboard players!

I guess it's got to be Tarkus, despite the Mass section.

I haven't heard the studio version of Pictures At An Exhibition, but I might have just voted for the live version if it were an option. Since it's not, Tarkus takes it pretty handily over Karn.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
