I already have Brain Salad Surgery and Tarkus, but I don't know which to get next.  Do they sound good live?  Where do they sound the most like the Tarkus title track, I love those crazy rhythm parts!

oh hmm...

next one to get.... try ELP (the debut),  it is different from the two you have but just as good.  It's more classical-rock  in nature.  Do they sound good live?...... hahahahha..... HELL YES!!!!  The bootlegs I have from them are amoung my favorites from ANY group.  Not to mention video/DVD's of their performances.  They weren't known as the MASTERS OF THE STAGE for nothing.  Tarkus soundalike?  nothing compares to Tarkus.  That is a Classic.

Brain Salad Surgery is a Prog Rock MASTERPIECE, and it actually cheers me up to listen to, especially Jerusalem. It's flawless in my opinion and Karn Evil 9 should be in the top 3 prog epics of all time, amazing stuff. I also love Trilogy and Tarkus, I should give 'Pictures...' more listens, I do like it.

I've only heard part of Brain Salad Surgery, but from what I've heard it's an excellent album. Great moog solo by the way

Brain Salad Surgery is their best, although I haven't heard the 5.1 version yet, which I want to do!
What happened to this song we once knew so well???
