Hard to choose because there are four ELP choices. They and "The Devil's Triangle" are the really good choices here.

Yes! I think it's by Bach. Funny story on how i found out. I loved the song and learned the beginning on guitar. Then I started playing it for my guitar teacher and she was shocked!

I don't know... I've just heard multiple versions of it with orchestra and all. He might of wrote it, but there are classical versions. Also, i find George Martin as a semi-classical composer anyway... I also really love that song at the moment

I'd pick Styx's 'Movement for the Common Man' if it was here. Pre-dated ELP's adaption. Or Styx's 'Little Fugue in G', that's a nice adaption too, great intro to 'Father OSA'.

Never knew Styx did adaptations

They did in their early years, I'd suggest checking their early stuff out and even their later stuff. Really underrated band among prog fans. Smile

The Barbarian, although the original Bartok piece (Allegro Barbaro) is already good in itself.

First vote for Fanfare. When reading the poll title I have thought to the Albinoni's "Adagio" in the version by Renaissance which is probably the worst classical adaptation that I know in prog. (there are worse in mainstream).

Think I'll go for Hoedown, seeing as I look for to hearing it so much when on Trilogy, but Bouree (and Horizons) are extremely close. Noice poll Big smile

Voted for Horizons, really good track. I was just listening to Renaissance's adaptation of Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor.

The adagio of Messaggio 73 is cool too. Soooo kitsch.

It's not great but I like it. It's very far from being as good as the original though Ermm
