I really like More Fool Me. Phil is superb on that and the guitar is great. My problem is Battle Of Epping Forest. Apparently it's ok for Genesis to arse around for 10 minutes but not for ELP to do it for 2 minutes (Yes I do have a chip on my shoulder!) , The rest of the album is truly brilliant though.

I've always felt like Gabriel-era Genesis transcended contemporary music, especially prog, and told a story.
ELP is like musical masturbation to me, and this is coming from a Gentle Giant fan boi.

Which is exactly why I tend to duck of out ELP conversation LOL.
I do enjoy Trilogy though.

My love of SEBTP comes from the extended instrumental passages in songs like Dancing With the Moonlight Knight, Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show. It is so good to hear Genesis just cut loose and jam for a while without worrying about clever lyrics or strange costumes. Just the band doing what they did best - PLAY.

Yep although Cinema Show on Seconds Out is even better especially with when Chester and Phil get going.
