I agreee very much with you, although I know almost nothing of Three Monks, only Profondo Gotico and Toccata Neogotica 7, and now damn impressed with Progressive Magdeburg, just incredible how this band can manage to elevate the church organ strenght to its most! But after reading your review of "The Legend Of The Holy Circle", I'm thinking about putting first this album in my purchasing list.

I'm quite sure Hugh Banton's works must be very interesting and worth checking out. I had not heard of him until reading your reply, so I googled for some YouTube videos but unfortunately could find only the refered J.S.Bach's Goldberg Variations performed by Glenn Gould. To be honest I know quite very little of Bach's, including these refered compositions. And I would like to know your impressions about Hugh Banton's last work: The Planets By Gustav Holst (2007), thanks in advance.

I think a lot of people haven't heard them. This was one tough poll in spite of a handful of choices. My cursor was hovered over "Parallels" for a bit because the organ (and Squire's great bassline) make the song for me.

From this album, by now besides The Church I already could afford to listen to Another Frontier too - just another awesome piece of music! , I enjoyed even more this original version than the ELP's Changing States.
On that note, I prefer the version of "Romeo & Juliet" (from Black Moon on Changing States, called "Montagues & Capulets."

As I posted before, I don't know enough songs from here to vote... but I do know that I like Judas Iscariot much better than Parallels and The Great Gates of Kiev.

From this list I have to say Emerson's The Church reigns supreme. I would have picked the Three Fates if it had been a choice as it is the Cohbas, the Montecristo of Prog organ tunes.

Going for Parallels. The organ adds an expansive dimension to the piece, although I prefer how it works in Awaken.

This ain't easy! I love Wakeman's playing on both "Parallels" (that great solo!) and "Judas Iscariot," and Emerson's theme for The Church is a great jam, too!
Yeah nice call, that main theme for "La Chiesa" is amazing too! And I should know this whole Keith Emerson's album tbh, which includes also music composed and arranged by Fabio Pignatelli and performed by Goblin, a band that I still don't know btw although reading pretty much mentions in the forum.
But the track The Church I refered to in this selection is another stunning Keith's track from the following album:
