Angel's Egg. Tarkus will likely win though.


Edit: DAMN! Accidentally voted Tarkus.

One of these is brilliant.  the other isn't even too overrated, so hopefully the deserving album wins

It's a no-brainer for me.  Angel's Egg is excellent, and is my favourite Gong album next to You (I do think all of the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy excellent).  Even when I liked ELP considerably more than I do now, I wasn't that keen on Tarkus.  Incidentally, Trilogy was my particular favourite of ELP, but that Trilogy couldn't have stood up to any of Gong's Radio Gnome Invisible's trilogy for me.
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Very hard to decide. Tarkus for a bit.

No vote, because I've only heard Angel's Egg once. I suppose it would be a tight competition if I'd listened to it enough, it felt really good as far as I remember. Tarkus is partly great partly not so much.
It's on PA!

Now this is a tough one... Angel's Egg as long as it includes Ooby-Scooby Doomsday. Tongue
