This one is rather hard. None of this albums is a favourite of mine, but both have some songs I really like a lot. In the end, it sums as   Jerusalem & Toccatta VS Prince Ruppert Awakes & Bolero. Yeah, I guess I'm slightly more inclined towards Lizzard, at least for the moment.

Pretty close pollCool.
BSS is my favourite versus almost anything except perhaps Close To The Edge.

BSS! Jon Anderson's inclusion on Lizard was a musical misstep that weakened the effort, not galvanize it.

I don't like Lizard.

But Brain Salad Surgery is very loving. A little bit too 'bright', maybe. But Lizard is so unlistenable to me....


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Can't believe Lizard is currently ahead Confused 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) Embarrassed

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

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.
