Two acoustic numbers by English prog bands that seem to still be relatively well known by the public. Which is your favourite? (Supertramp ftw!! Smile)

I love both songs, and both are classics in their own right, but I go with Lucky Man

"Lucky Man," by far. I can't stand Hodgson's voice. Tongue

Gee, I think this is the first vote for ELP I have ever delivered here. Lucky Man easily...

I never really liked Lucky Man, sorry.  Silly keyboards and otherwise dull.  Supertramp, all the way!
More heavy prog, please!

Lucky Man, except for Emerson's ugly and unnecessary solo at the end.

Lucky Man. I do prefer his deeper voice. The synth lead is a milestone (although I agree it doesn't seem like it goes with the song). I would just generally get more excited if it were to crop up somewhere. I hear Give A Little Bit is played quite frequently on one of our local stations. It's nice, no big deal. I can't remember the last time I listened to either of the albums.

Give A Little Bit doesn't even fit the Even In The Quietest Moments album. It's a poppy love-affair that has no reason to be on Quietest.

ELP by a mile.  But yes, the synth solo was unnecessary and not very good, especially for Emerson.  The ending in general was a crap finish to a great prog pop song.
