So really Jerusalem/Toccata is one of the better one/two punches ever delivered in the olden days of prog, I'd say.
And did those feet...

Voted for Toccata but I can honestly say that every track on this album has been my favourite at one time or another. Peerless and unimpeachable as far as Symphonic Prog goes -------------

| Toccatta easily, don't really like Karn Evil 9 anyway. Jerusalem is a close second. |

I like all these four, but Toccata is the most impressive by far. -------------

Toccata, but the live version on WBMFTTSTNE is much better than the studio version. |

A lot of people like Toccata here. The drumming is excellent on it, however.
I vote Still...You Turn Me On. Great, catchy riff. -------------

I used to hate this song, but then one day, it became one of my favorite songs by ELP! I always wanted to play Brain Salad Surgery, and Jerusalem is the main reason why I start to listen to the album so many times. It is one of the best openings! I'm going to listen to it right now! |

Yes, a nice Lake composition. I like the other songs on BSS also BTW. They're all great.

I'm shocked by the love for Jerusalem...... it's a hymn!
And unlike all the other compositions reworked by ELP (such as the one winning this poll), they didn't even add anything; it's just a straight play-thru, and poorly recorded, and Lake's singing is out of tune on WBMFTTSTNE.........
I only mention it 'cause I find it to be one of the worst album openings of the classic prog movement! ------------- http://www.thefreshfilmblog.com/" rel="nofollow">  |

I actually love Jersusalem because its sums up the loose concept of the entire album in about 2-3 minutes , that is technology surplanting nature with its 'dark satanic mills' or as on KE9 with a computer gone 'mad'. This small point is often overlooked.
I vote Toccata though as this is as progressive a peice of music ever recorded. Completely 'out there' with no boundaries. Total unadalterated music madness. As Mr Ginastera remarked ''Terrible ,..terrible!!''

^Sinfield was truly a poetic visionary (prog is lucky to count him among its disciples). Are we really the masters, or are computers? Well, if you think of computers as a metaphor for the responsibilities heaped upon us by this new technology, I wonder. I can't count on both hands the number of people I've offended because I'm too busy to keep up with Facebook or answer emails!

| Jerusalem for its nice change of pace on an otherwise and for the most part intense album. Good keyboards also work nicely here. |
