well we have a best ending thread, why not a best interlude thread...

ok, Rush has a lot of them, 'jacobs ladder' might be my favorite of all time, 'the trees' has a good one as well.

dream theater 'new millenium', 'metropolis pt. 1'

styx 'come sail away' (shut up you know its cool)

21st Century Schizoid Man .. of course
Gentle Giant - Peel The Paint -
Love this amazing guitar solo!
Genesis - The Musical Box - what more needs to be said about Hackett's incredible and historic solos!
VdGG - Killer - One of David's most insane moments!

Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus--The Mars Volta (nice buildup and climax section)

Close to the Edge (I Get Up, I Get Down)--Yes (the most beautiful section in a song ever)

Shine on You Crazy Diamond (since the interlude is more or less the song itself, thos one deserves recognition)

Fatal Tragedy --Dream Theater (not a big DT fan but this interlude/outro instrumental never ceases to make me remember the old days when i was a Dt fanboy...)

I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

I thought this thread would have been more popular, anyway...

Rush - La Villa Strangiato, The Necromancer, Cygnus X-1

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise, Close To The Edge

Pink Floyd - Dogs

Jethro Tull - MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY!, A Passion Play

Dream Theater - (wow there's alot!) METROPOLIS PT. 1, FATAL TRAGEDY, TAKE THE TIME, SCARRED, A CHANGE OF SEASONS (Darkest of Winters), PANIC ATTACK

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

yeah just listened to that again  earlier,  far and away my favortie G.G. song, and a top 5 fav. prog song.  Call me a wuss, but that middle section (forgot to mention the mellotron touches along with the piano and sweet vocals) puts shivers down my spine.  Just plain gorgous music.

South Side of the Sky - the piano and vocal section is excellent, and so different to the rest of the song.

Sorry if the following ones are not interludes:

The most brilliant ones are by Genesis IMO:
CAN - Utility And The Coastliners
Firth OF Fifth
The Musical Box
The Knife

Apart from Genesis:
Pink Floyd - Echoes
UFO - Flyin'
King Crimson - Epitaph
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
