1970, a great year for progressive. After Valentyne Suite (1969, Colosseum) comes the firsts suite: - Lizard - Atom Heart Mother But that year marks the success of the mini - suite. Mini? Yes, I would say between 8 and 15 minutes. In your opinion, which one is the best? You can choose three mini suite EL&P Take a Pebble CARAVAN Can't Be Long Now VdGG Pioners Over C GENTLE GIANT Nothing At All VdGG After the Flood CHICAGO Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon QUATERMASS Laughtin Tackle CAN Mother Sky THE TRIP Visioni Dell'Al Di Là GENESIS Stagnation BALLETTO DI BRONZO Missione Sirio 2222 YETI Soap Shop Rock MAGMA Kobaia HIGH TIDE Saneonimous Black Widow Sacrifice ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

Very nice poll. I'll be partisan here and vote for Can, but only by a whisker over Take a Pebble, which for me is the best thing ELP did. Then After the Flood, Kobaia and Soap Shop Rock. I didn't know Quatermass and The Trip (besides three others) and they're great. Definitely need to dig deeper there. |

Great idea! I voted for VdGG, Can and Magma. Also like the selected songs by Gentle Giant, Black Widow (recent Akarma vinyl sounds great!) and Ill Balletto di Bronzo ------------- I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass.

Great selection of songs and a very tough choice, but went with ELP as "Take a Pebble" is my favorite of theirs and one of my faves of all-time. Emerson's piano is filled with emotion as well as virtuosity, ------------- PROGMATIC |

I needed 'elp with finding out who recorded "Take a Pebble" It's funny that Caravan's mini-suite is called "Can't Be Long Now.

Take a Pebble, which for me is the best thing ELP did. I subscribe it. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

Caravan gets my vote. I think that song is even stronger than the well-loved "9 Feet Underground" - there's a lot more focused dynamic progression rather than a long string of solos. I've always heard that suite of songs referred to as "For Richard" when the full title wasn't used, though. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |

I am familiar with most of the track in this poll, but because they're so radically different stylistically (for example I find it difficult to stack up ELP against Amon Düül II), I decided not to cast my vote. I'd like to mention however, that I find the Quartermass track to be a great achievement from the production point of view, especially for the year 1970. Except, sadly, to be frank, drum solos on studio albums have aged so poorly imo, that I cringe super hard whenever I hear one now. This is no exception. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |
