Take A Pebble is my favourite track by them, so I voted for that one. Both great, though. |

Both great - and rather contrasting too. I actually love the live 'conclusions' to Take A Pebble - and the studio version suffers from the mid-section. I was disappointed there was no 'conclusion' at High Voltage... |

| "Take a Pebble" is brilliant on "Welcome Back My Friends" but I still vote for Trilogy. |

Trilogy, an archetypal schizo ELP song, starts off all classical and romantic then goes into a Moog freakout. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

Take a pebble  Trilogy is brilliant too though. Does anyone else think Greg Lake sounds a little like Art Garfunkel on that track?? ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| 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. |

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. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Well obviously, he is just a pale imitator. Kareoke Garfunkel maybe.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

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

Take a Pebble. It comes from the only good ELP album. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

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. |

Neither, to be honest. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |
