went with "Heart Of The Sunrise" but let me tell you that this is a very hard poll for me to decide as I love all the songs mentioned. Reason I voted Heart Of The Sunrise is because I feel it defines early prog best it has all the elements I enjoy.    Smile

I'll never forget walking down onto the floor to get to my second row tickets at for Rush while King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man was blasting over the giant speakers... felt so... grandiose!

For that and many more reasons I picked the ol' KC

The current scores (virtually equal) proves in a way that you were right about this being a hard poll, whilst for me, it was an easy selection for Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Coin flip for me on KC and PF. All great songs.

I would go with 21st Century in the end.

For me as a Pink Floyd fan (my favorite band for years)  it's very easy -  Shine on!  Wink

Nope. The rest of it is brilliant. The delay isn't that big, and it means I have to get up and turn the damn thing off (breaking the atmosphere) before the end. It's a really great piece, but the other three are basically flawless, and it isn't.


I guess for me the Floyd track would be of lesser "value" on the whole than the other three.  It would be useless to dispute your use of "flawless" because I wouldn't say the track necessarily has flaws, just I don't find it as satisfying as the others.

I love all of these, but with the inclusion of "21st Century Schizoid Man", my choice was clear.  Now, since I'm in a '69 mindset, if "Peaches en Regalia" was here....

Of the other three, I think Schizoid Man is the one for me:

Death seed, blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got, he really needs
21st Century Schizoid Man!

Pure brilliance.
