I thought I did this one before but maybe not. A brief google search only pulled up the respective albums. Both have padding in them imo but which one do you like better?

I'm much more into psychedelia than symphonic, Echoes all the way.

ELP's 'Tarkus' does it for me, the other one does not.

Both are great, but ... Echoes over Tarkus.

Echoes. Tarkus is one of my favourite ELP tracks, but I have always preferred the Floyd.

Tarkus. No doubt Floyd will win but I really like Tarkus, even a lot of the much-criticised second side.

Love them both. If a gun was held to me, Tarkus just about - mainly because of the Welcome Back My Friends version....

As a 14 year old, Tarkus was everything to me. Just the first few minutes has more creativity than 99% of so called progressive music. It's a game changer. For ELP it came naturally and insanely the album was recorded in just 2 weeks. That is the very definition of unfiltered brilliance let loose.

I love them both. I couldn't tell you which one I love more, so I'm voting "Both equally".
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Echoes, but TArkus is at the same level
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
