The love for Crim abounds.

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 poll  .
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

Two amazing albums. BSS is more amazing though.

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)

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

Definitely Lizard. Not a great fan of BSS.

Lizard by far. I rarely listen to BSS anymore, though still get it out once in a while to hear Jerusalem and Toccata.
