1970, a great year for progressive. After Valentyne Suite (1969, Colosseum) comes the firsts suite:
- Lizard
- Atom Heart Mother

But that year marks the success of the mini - suite.

Mini? Yes, I would say between 8 and 15 minutes.

In your opinion, which one is the best?

You can choose three mini suite


EL&P
Take a Pebble


CARAVAN
Can't Be Long Now



VdGG
Pioners Over C



GENTLE GIANT
Nothing At All



VdGG
After the Flood



CHICAGO
Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon 



QUATERMASS
Laughtin Tackle



CAN
Mother Sky



THE TRIP
Visioni Dell'Al Di Là



GENESIS
Stagnation



BALLETTO DI BRONZO
Missione Sirio 2222



YETI
Soap Shop Rock



MAGMA
Kobaia



HIGH TIDE
Saneonimous


Black Widow
Sacrifice
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Very nice poll. I'll be partisan here and vote for Can, but only by a whisker over Take a Pebble, which for me is the best thing ELP did. Then After the Flood, Kobaia and Soap Shop Rock. I didn't know Quatermass and The Trip (besides three others) and they're great. Definitely need to dig deeper there.

Take a Pebble, Pioneers over C and After the Flood. I'd gladly pick Stagnation as fourth.

Great idea! I voted for VdGG, Can and Magma. Also like the selected songs by Gentle Giant, Black Widow (recent Akarma vinyl sounds great!) and Ill Balletto di Bronzo
I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry.

Great selection of songs and a very tough choice, but went with ELP as "Take a Pebble" is my favorite of theirs and one of my faves of all-time. Emerson's piano is filled with emotion as well as virtuosity,
