This is based on my personal top ten ELP tracks. I voted for Karn Evil 9 (all 3 Impressions).

Hi,

TARKUS for me, although that video of them in Montreal alone in the cold on the stadium is, by far one of the best things I have ever seen. You can't even argue that they were not about the MUSIC. 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm voting for "Trilogy" as the track I liked best by ELP when I listened to ELP the most. :)

Karn Evil 9, then Tarkus.

Excluding those two, either The Endless Enigma (both parts + fugue), Trilogy, or Abbadon's Bolero.

I use to relate to tracks very much as parts of the whole albums, but I can tell that my favourite ELP album may very well be Tarkus, even I'm also very fond of the debut and Trilogy, and almost quite as much of BSS. Smile

Karn Evil 9 edges Tarkus. The opening to Tarkus, however, is the best thing ELP ever did. Trilogy, Toccata and The Barbarian would round out my top 5.
