Take A Pebble is my favourite track by them, so I voted for that one. Both great, though.

Both great - and rather contrasting too. I actually love the live 'conclusions' to Take A Pebble - and the studio version suffers from the mid-section. I was disappointed there was no 'conclusion' at High Voltage...

"Take a Pebble" is brilliant on "Welcome Back My Friends" but I still vote for Trilogy.

Trilogy, an archetypal schizo ELP song, starts off all classical and romantic then goes into a Moog freakout.

Take a pebble  Trilogy is brilliant too though. Does anyone else think Greg Lake sounds a little like Art Garfunkel on that track??

I think Trilogy by a little bit. Take a Pebble is very beautiful and soft, while Trilogy is rockier and proggier and crazy. However, the first suffers for me from an overlong middle section that drags a bit too long... I prefer it without it, even if it makes it almost a pop song instead of a prog song. And Trilogy suffers from the third part... I have always hated when ELP goes into that carnival-like mode, I just can't stand them.

Pebble......though Trilogy is a close second . And I agree with Dellinger above that the 'carnival/beer hall' stuff ruins their flow of music for me on many of their albums.
