I gave it to Living Sin without ever hearing whatever the second tune was - Rush's output since the mid-'80s being that disappointing to me. Yeah, that's weak, but that's where things stand. Besides, the ending of the former is so non sequitur that one has to deem it above special for the group.

ELP being 'menacing' against some random Rush track from one of my favourite Rush albums. Strange poll againLOL

I really don't know . ELP are my favourite band but that doesn't mean I want to vote for them here. I think I will abstain.

Living Sin has some great music but I think it is kind of a dumb song.  Sooooo, Marathon, which actually is a great song.

Living Sin is one of ELP's lesser songs in my book, so I vote for the 80's Rush one.

I find Living Sin a bit irritating to be honest, although Trilogy overall is the only ELP album I like form start to finish.

Marathon gets the vote I guess, although I find it a bit cheesy.

well, it's the 80's! what can you expect?

Hmmm....overall I think the Rush track is more interesting and for me Living Sin is just an ok one from Trilogy.
