  2. BSS.
  3. Tarkus.
  4. Pictures at an Exhibition.
  5. Live at the Isle of Wight.
  6. Trilogy
  7. ELP

I haven't heard the rest... and I'm in no hurry, due to the reviews here...

the debut... followed by Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery.  They are all great albums, but the debut album above all.

I'm with you Mickey the eponymous 1st album is for me the best with Knife Edge and Take a Pebble amongst their finest moments.Up until the dire ' Love Beach' ELP were one mighty fine band.

bravo!  The Barbarian is one of those tracks that, no matter through how many untold listens, never fails to get my  old engine reving and the 'air' piano fired up.

I've told the story on here before but I will do so again.The year 1970 on a schooltrip in Blankenburg in Belgium a gang of 16 year olds have had a great night in a Belgian pub listening to great music all night on a cracking juke box and yes ' Knife Edge ' was on the Jukie and we all pile out singing at the top of our voices with Emerson impersonations going on all over the place.Those were the very best of times.Prog was surfacing and rock ruled the planet oh for a time machine.

Bravo to you too Mickey
