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.

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.

Take a Pebble, which for me is the best thing ELP did.

I subscribe it.

It's funny that Caravan's mini-suite is called "Can't Be Long Now. Smile

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,

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. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry.
