It's very hard to narrow it down to five, but here goes:
- Karn Evil 9
- The Barbarian
- Pirates
- The Three Fates
- A Time and a Place
It'd probably change if I did it tomorrow though...

Tarkus is my fave, followed by The Endless Enigma, then KE9
....but that's only personal, and probably not too representative of ELP fans

 ...yes, it's beginning to appear so!
I don't consider myself to be an ELP authority, and I'm surprised that thus far, Snow Dog hasn't shown his paws in this thread...he's a MASSIVE fan!

Take A Pebble, Tarkus and KE9. ELP was very good with epics. ELP could have meant Epic Long Play
ELP really used the epic form to the max. Especially the contrast between Emerson's complex compositions and Lake's simple but beautiful songs is something I really like. Emerson had the talent and the technique to really turn an epic into something special.

Knife Edge isn't strictly a cover, nut they nick that great organ section off of Janacek.
my favorite band composed:
- Tarkus
- From the Beggining
- Trilogy
- KE 9
- The Endless Enigma
- Still...You Turn Me On

I just saw your profile Winter Wine and it states that you're only 16 years.
How comes such a young guy to be an ELP fan?
Well I also like that trio from your land, Therapy?

Tough one. Endless Enigma has always been my favourite, so that's easy. After that, things get a bit harder.
- Endless Enigma
- Karn Evil 9
- Aquatarkus (from "Welcome Back My Friends...")
- Trilogy
- The Sheriff or Hoedown, can't decide.

Lucky you, having a dad with a collection of prog. My sons don't know how lucky they are yet!
PS - I was into ELP when I was 13 or 14.

Looks like that says something about the group, IMO.
