Both are great, but my vote goes to Tarkus.

If I remember it right that's lyrics from the song War by Frankie Goes to Hollywood ?

Actually, "War, what is it good for?" was the original title for War And Peace

The Gates of Delirium gets my vote only because it contains "Soon."

I voted Gates 2 years ago and would not change that despite being a massive Keith Emerson/ELP fan. Interesting to see that ELP is not that far behind, maybe getting some belated respect and also recognition that Tarkus is an important piece coming out in 1971 when bands were not often tackling side long epics as much and maybe Tarkus helped encourage that more after the album went to NO1 in the UK album charts. Greg Lake had his reservations but sensibly wasn't prepared to split the band up over it.

I picked Tarkus and am shocked so many agree.

Tarkus

I like "The Gates of Delirium". When it comes to ELP vs. YES, I'll go with ELP because of the vocals, which have been more of a factor nowadays. I don't even pay attention to lyrics anymore.

Gates for sure. Tarkus seems to have at least one section that goes on too long. It's still great but I much prefer GoD.

How can the best ELP epic be losing vs the worst Yes epic? My own opinion of course. I absolutely love both the bands.

Tarkus- even though it is mildly overrated.
