No contest for me, as much as i respect ELP , king crimson is groundbreaking in a lot of their releases.

Great quality from the only genuine KC album, but best overall contribution has to be ELP

What about Beat or Thrak? Besides it is his choice waht he prefers.  |
Beat is a great album, haven't heard Thrak. So is Three of a Perfect Pair.  |
Never liked Beat. Neal and Jack and Me. Shocking.

I am not the biggest fan of ELP, but I like to listen to them now and then. KC on the other hand I donīt ever feel like listening to.

That's interesting since they didn't write most of it. Their interpretations were interesting although once I heard the orchestral and solo piano versions, I could never listen to ELP's version again. |
Well, I like the album, whether it was written by ELP or not. I also have heard Ravel's orchestrated version. I guess it would be interesting to hear the original piano version.

^ Ok...you are a bigger fan. I seem to appreciate their music more than you though. For the life of me I can't see whats wrong with the end of Third Impression. A lot of things you say about ELP I disagree with. I forgot to add that Pictures is a masterpiece too.
Each to their own I suppose. |
just seems to lose momentum
I quite like the lyric ' their graves need no flowers, the tapes have recorded their names' (Sinfield?) . The first 5 minutes of 3rd Impression is utterly sublime but I'm looking for a killer ending (like Aquatarkus) and its just not quite there (imo). I said on the KE9 poll thread that I was pleased to see 3rd Impression getting a lot of love. I even voted for it myself which probably seems like a blatant contradiction to what I've just written!
With Pictures I just like most of the alternative versions ELP did. There is a fantastic version on one of the official bootleg releases recorded about 1974. They are on fire. Love the Lyceum version version as well. The actual album release is a bit too clean. I like a bit of dirt with the organ and cymbals nice and loud.

apparently there are about 50 orchestral versions with Ravel's by far the most popular
