Lizard! I like it more, even though BSS is more "important".

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lizard by far. I rarely listen to BSS anymore, though still get it out once in a while to hear Jerusalem and Toccata.
|
|
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Lizard is good, BSS is bloody fantastic (ELP's best imho).
BSS gets the vote.

Can't believe Lizard is currently ahead  I mean it's very patchy IMO albeit with a sublime side one (the shorter song based compositions) followed by the bloated, aimless 'noodle orgy' of the title track. Compared to what is undoubtedly my favourite prog album of all time (sorry for shouting)
