The first one wins for me with Knife Edge and Take a Pebble being absoloute standouts.I have two major regrets in my musical life,not seeing ELP live and missing The Lamb lies Down tour

I voted Tarkus  but I should say it is my favourite ELP album at the moment..
I still have some exploring to do. I only really know Tarkus, the debut album and Emerson Lake & Powell well. I have BSS on order and will probably get round to buying Trilogy. I've heard Pictures, and to be honest I thought it was laughable, although I was quite young when I heard it, so another listen may be called for.
But, Reed, you're right. Moving Pictures is a fine album  and ELP will never be as good as Rush, although I concede they have looked as ridiculous!

For what it is worth my favourite ELP album is actually quite short in length:

After BSS I like ELP then Tarkus. Knifes Edge being
their best song IMO, Tarkus suite being their best
extended jam. I pretty much listen to just those when
I need an ELP fix!

ELP - I was disappointed with Tarkus and Trilogy - purely because of the amount of DROSS on both - I am hoping that ELP will give me a little bit more ELP to appreciate !

Jeeez - I got that one right........
However, I still stand by my opinion then, that Keith Emerson was one of the finest musicians of his generation; this does not necessarily mean that ELP are faultless (name me one band who are), but it certainly means you should least dip into their back catalogue for a taste; I think most would find something they like....
Except maybe Reed Lover

I voted for BSS because of the one and only TOCCATA. Amazing!

Jerusalem is good, but every time I hear it all I can think of is Monty Python, episode 4.
