As much as I love "Supper's Ready", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Echoes", "The Plague Of The Lighthouse Keepers" or other stuff, it has to be YES: "Close To The Edge", "Gates Of Delirium", "Awaken", "The Revealing Science Of God" or "The Ancient"..., they are the (uncrowned?) kings of epic prog.

Porcupine Tree's "The Sky Moves Sideways" is very enjoyable.
But Supper's Ready has this great part with "Mum to mud to mad to dad, dad diddley office, dad diddley office".
By Yes I only know CTTE which I don't find very Epic.
I'll go with PT because they haven't received a vote yet =(

That was a hard decision, I mean Genesis has Suppers Ready, but I gave it to Yes

While I too like the Transatlantic epics (All of the Above, Stranger in Your Soul, Duel with the Devil), my vote went to Spock's Beard (The Light, The Water, The Doorway, Healing Colors of Sound, Flow, At the End of the Day, The Great Nothing, Snow).

My vote went to Yes (because of his whole work) although my favorites epics
are Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play (oops, I forgot Supper's Ready)

I prefer Yes non-epic tracks so it's gotta be Floyd for "Echoes" and "Shine on..." they keep their quality all the way through
