Best (vinyl) side-long album tracks

But someone earlier posted it on their list so I just went along with it! Actually, 'horizons' opens side 2. So Supper's Ready doesn't belong in the prestigious category of "side-long epics" even though it's longer than most of them..

The word I meant was dissonance,and that's heard throughout Karn Eval 9.It's real simple,you pronounce carnival-CAR -NE-VAL,or even CAR-NE for short,never CAR-NE-VILL!No one ever pronounces it like that!It's pronounced CAR-NE-VAL.which is also the same as KARN-E-VAL,not KARN-E-VILL,no one ever pronounces it like that ,so it's very logical why they would name it KARNEVAL,because you might miss the pun on CARNIVAL otherwise which is what most people did per my research on the net for the last 45 minutes.If you can't understand this explanation then you're just being obstinate.

My brain (hopefully not been salad surgered yet) tells me you 2 are probably right but even if the guy is wrong he does not deserve your attitude. However, this debate taught me what that name stands for and that's nice.   To a different matter. Snow dog, what's wrong with Emerson's concerto as a full record side track ?

How old are you? Five? (with apologies to all 5 year-olds reading this). I sincerely want you to be proved right - nothing would please me more. I don't want rumour, guesses or vague rusty memories I want proven irrefutable facts - nothing else matters. Seriously. If it was originally called Karn Eval on early releases then that's bloody marvellous - a fantastic piece of archive history forgotten for 38 years - brilliant. But if it's not, or can't be proven then it's nothing.

A person does not forget the name of his favorite song,especially when he's been a musician all his life,and why don't you start apologizing to the 3 year olds instead because that's how old I was when I started PERFORMING in front of audiences.

Why not Karn Ival 9 then?

Karl Iván 9...
