I happen to love three of these--hold them up as some of Prog Valhalla's greatest epics: "Safe," "1984," and "Fall of the House of Usher."

Just a collection of longer pieces that I've rarely seen mentioned on this site. I'm sure each one has their advocates, but these are not usually mentioned when discussing the artist's best work. Maybe it was the time or production values when they were released, as by 1975, epics started to become frowned upon. That being said, I realize there are many epics not listed here from the same time period, so this poll is not intended to be all-inclusive.

For this poll, I am defining "epic" as "at least 13 minutes long". The choices are listed in chronological order.
