Are you kidding? I love take a pebble. Tank would be a much better argument to prove there was anything "bad" on it and I even like that one.
Take a Pebble is the only ELP-song i genuinely love:)

Loads of brilliant albums here. It was difficult to remove enough titles to make a top ten of sorts:

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) 
National Health - National Health (1978)   
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)     
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant (1970)     
Hatfield & the North - Hatfield & the North (1974)
Family - Music in a Doll's House (1968) 
Curved Air - Air Conditioning (1970)    
Camel - Camel (1973)
Renaissance - Renaissance (1969)
Caravan - Caravan (1968)

Disqualified from competition: The Moody Blues' second album

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

In the Court of the Crimson King has always been my favourite KC album by a long way. It's also the only King Crimson album I've actually gone out and bought, although In the Wake of Poseidon's a pretty good follow-up album, so I occasionally listen to 2 too. Smile
