Great Gig - hard to describe as 'ballad' in form.

It's hard to be exact in categories and definitions in such polls. Surely it's not the best representave of ballad as a genre, but at least it provokes same emotions as most of the pure ballads. And imo it feets in this poll quite well

As ballads go, I'm torn between VDGG and Pink Floyd but I've been loving H To He recently, so I'm erring towards "House With No Door"

KC and ELP are tied for me so I flipped a coin and ELP won.

Locomotive Breath, even if it's not a ballad.

Second place goes to The Night Watch, one of the very few things by KC that I actually like.

Only 3 votes for The Night Watch? Apologies to Starless, but I think it's probably my favorite King Crimson track. Is there a better song about a painting? I think not. Wink
