Lizard by a pretty large margin.  I still love BSS though.

Hmm...I like KC much more than ELP.  This is one of KC's many peaks in my opinion, against ELP's album where they (in my mind) went to garbage.  I see no retaining qualities in Brain Salad Surgery. 

Lizard is an amazingly unique album, very tasteful.  
BSS is about as cheesy and cliche' as prog rock can be, and SEVERELY lacks in taste.  The line "gotta see the show, its DYNAMO"  makes me cringe every time. The thought that the same band that released their S/T and Pictures could turn and do something SO bad.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

I like King Crimson far more than ELP, but this is my favorite ELP album against my (by far) least favorite Krim album. Brain Salad Surgery for me. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

Lizard is a 5 star album for me.  BSS is a 3 star.
 
Lizard it is...

Lizard. I'm not keen on BSS.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Two fantastic albums, but BSS is one of ELP's absolute peaks, and Lizard is wonderful but not KC's absolute peak.
 
Well, that's my opinion anyway. BSS.
