One of these:
Animals
A Farewell to Kings
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Free Hand
 
For now I'll vote for The Lamb, as I am so much into it these days.

I wonder about one thing, though... Am I the only one who thinks the otherwise excellent LTiA is somewhat spoiled by Wetton's far from stellar vocal performance? Or is it just me who gives too much importance to singing?Confused

As a bassist, Wetton was great for KC, but as a vocalist I agree he wasn't that good (at least with KC, with U.K. it's another story).  His only good vocal performance with KC was on Red, and even there it wasn't flawless.

Even though his vocals weren't the best, I don't think it detracts from the album at all.

I voted for Songs from the Wood.
 
Animals is my real favourite on that list, but Songs from the Wood is a close second and it only has a few votes.
 
I wish I could vote twice. Trilogy has some of my favourite ELP songs on it and it only has four votes.
