Lizard! I like it more, even though BSS is more "important".

Two fantastic albums, but BSS is one of ELP's absolute peaks, and Lizard is wonderful but not KC's absolute peak.
 
Well, that's my opinion anyway. BSS.

Lizard. I'm not keen on BSS.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Lizard is a 5 star album for me.  BSS is a 3 star.
 
Lizard it is...

I like King Crimson far more than ELP, but this is my favorite ELP album against my (by far) least favorite Krim album. Brain Salad Surgery for me.

Hmm...I like KC much more than ELP.  This is one of KC's many peaks in my opinion, against ELP's album where they (in my mind) went to garbage.  I see no retaining qualities in Brain Salad Surgery. 

Lizard is an amazingly unique album, very tasteful.  
BSS is about as cheesy and cliche' as prog rock can be, and SEVERELY lacks in taste.  The line "gotta see the show, its DYNAMO"  makes me cringe every time. The thought that the same band that released their S/T and Pictures could turn and do something SO bad.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

Lizard by a pretty large margin.  I still love BSS though.

Lizard by far.  I rarely listen to BSS anymore, though still get it out once in a while to hear Jerusalem and Toccata.

-------------
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Lizard is good, BSS is bloody fantastic (ELP's best imho).
 
BSS gets the vote.

BSS for me

Can't believe Lizard is currently ahead Confused I mean it's very patchy IMO albeit with a sublime side one (the shorter song based compositions) followed by the bloated, aimless 'noodle orgy' of the title track.

Compared to what is undoubtedly my favourite prog album of all time (sorry for shouting) Embarrassed

I don't like Lizard.

But Brain Salad Surgery is very loving. A little bit too 'bright', maybe. But Lizard is so unlistenable to me....

BSS! Jon Anderson's inclusion on Lizard was a musical misstep that weakened the effort, not galvanize it.

Pretty close pollCool.
BSS is my favourite versus almost anything except perhaps Close To The Edge.

This one is rather hard. None of this albums is a favourite of mine, but both have some songs I really like a lot. In the end, it sums as   Jerusalem & Toccatta VS Prince Ruppert Awakes & Bolero. Yeah, I guess I'm slightly more inclined towards Lizzard, at least for the moment.

Lizard over BSS!?!

The love for Crim abounds.
