I chose Works vol. I &II. Fanfare For the Common Man is ELP at the top of their game. Who ever votes for Love Beach should be turned into a newt.

I'd have to choose ELP's debut, if only for the superb musicianship on songs such as The Three Fates, Lucky Man, The Barbarian, and so on. Other than that, Brain Salad Surgery comes close, as it has some very intruiging moments as well.

JIM:i chose Tarkus but somewhat reluctantly,it was more for the memories it evokes(and the fact that side 1 is so good) but there are so many great tracks on all the albums that the choice was difficult!!!. stay safe!!!

ELP are a band who tend to polarise opinion.
Seen by some as the greatest exponents of '70 progressive rock, seen by others as the epitome of all that was wrong with the genre. Whatever your opinion, it is difficult to argue with the contention that ELP contained in Keith Emerson one of the greatest musicians of his generation.
The albums could be patchy, but usually contained moments of sheer brilliance - for myself, I would have to vote for Brain Salad Surgery, if only for Karn Evil
