I really like a lot of songs on Animals, but Tarkus is more of a work. So I go with Tarkus.

Animals very easily. I love the whole álbum, while the only one I really love on Tarkus is the title song... and then not even the whole song, for it's got some rather annoying sections. And if it's a matter of epic vs epic, I do love Dogs much more than Tarkus.

I like Animals, but Tarkus is much better.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

ELP at their peak - Floyd in decline... If it was Works vs Animals (i.e contemporaneous albums) then ELP would still win....

I love Dogs from Animals and that's about it, whereas I love most of Tarkus, so ELP wins it for me.

I prefer the title track of Tarkus over anything on Animals, but I prefer Animals by far over side 2 of Tarkus.

Animals.
I like the whole Animals album, but only like the Tarkus suite on the ELP album. The rest of the album is weak IMO.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

nice tough choice poll!
Animals got my vote, I love Tarkus, but Animals is one of my favorite albums, I was in high school when I first listened to it and it never got old.

Animals. I do love Tarkus, but Animals is one of my favorites. I listened to it long time ago and it never got old for me.

Another hard choice. I'm not really sure how to vote. Today I could vote for animals, tomorrow for Tarkus, or it could be the other way around. I think I'll wait on this one.

Last looked and it was tied seven votes each. Now it's 12 each. Animals is good, but I'm going with Tarkus. So that should be 13 12

although Tarkus is annoying in places it has a fun exuberance ----Animals is a snooze fest in places---they are both on my B list of prog.

Easy vote for Animals; my opinions on ELP hardly require further elucidation.
Tied again at 13-13
Edit: Well, that didn't last long

Love them both - probably both would occupy my Top 25. Unlike others here, I really enjoy Side Two of Tarkus. That, combined with the perfection of Side One, causes my vote to go for ELP.
