My second choice would have been CTTE - Yes's masterpiece, and from their seminal album IMO.

From these, I guess Close to the Edge. But they are all indeed great.

Tell you what? I've seen plenty of polls and lists about side-long/20 minute prog tracks on this forum and I've realized that very very rarely do people mention, what is to me one of the finest 70s canterbury epics ever - 9 ft. Underground by Caravan.

1. Supper´s Ready
2. Close to The Edge / Awaken (even though it´s 4.30 minutes away from reaching 20...) 
3. Echoes / Dogs (even though it's 3 minutes away from reaching 20...)
4. 2112 (especially "i. The Overture", extraordinary)

'Echoes' for me - seeing as Meddle is the album that introduced me to the Floyd, and ultimately got me into prog.

Echoes, Ctte and Tarkus.

Echoes has psychdelia, prog, bluesy guitar and good lyrics.

Tarkus. If you are a fan of classic Prog, you have to have a copy of this somewhere in your collection. Original album, live, on a collection, whatever.

For me, Supper's Ready is tied for first place with Tarkus, followed very close by Close to the Edge and 2112.

I always vote for Gates Of Delirium so this gives me a real headache lol.

I just can't decide between the ELP, Yes and Genesis tracks which are about equal for me. I'll vote for Echoes then.
