Karn Evil although I sometimes muse whether it could have been the whole album if Toccata had been incorporated as an extra movement and the rest consigned to the EP.
The live version of Tarkus is actually my favourite ELP track with the extended Aquatarkus section. Pictures as played at the Mar Y Sol in 1972 festival is my favourite version of that track. Memoirs is not that bad while The Piano Concerto is rather beautiful to my ears. An ode to dear ole Blighty , composed mostly on a dull train journey between London and Brighton apparently!

There are only two true options here for me, Tarkus and Karn Evil 9. Had to give the vote to the latter.

Everybody seems to like the epics the best in terms of prog rock. The favorite for Genesis is usually Suppers Ready, CTTE for Yes, TAAB for Jethro Tull, and Nine Feet Underground for Caravan.

Definitely Tarkus for me. Not just my favorite ELP epic, but my favorite song of theirs in general Smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Because the last poll was a joke, I decided to make a more fair poll here. I will go with Karn Evil 9 today. It is the only side long epic I know that takes up part of another side and not the entire one as well. Not like TAAB or Tubular Bells that fills up two sides, but songs that are on the first side and also have the one epic take up part of that first side and then all of the second side. I like KE9, because of its concept, and all the great keyboard work here.
