Best Progressive Song

   Supper's Ready by Genesis has it all: captivating shifting moods (from mellow with twanging 12-string acoustic guitar and flute to bombastic with organ and fiery electric guitar), superb vocals and an outstanding grand finale, on video it's even more compelling (Shepperton 1974 footage)  !

	2112 or pretty much any of the side-long epics of Yes are my favs.

	While I agree that The Pinnacle is an amazing song, my choice is Neal Morse's The Separated Man.

	i know it sounds so terrible but i have to say Close to the Edge. No matter how many times i listen to it, i get goosebumps at one part or another. It has everything you could want all in 18 minutes...its more than most bands could do in 35. Phenomenal.

	Evergreen by Mostly Autumn. But the choice of Isidora by Illusion is a very interesting vote. Mr Zambra, you have taste!

	Great question. I would have to go with "Close to the Edge."
	Give love each day.

	Not very easy to pin down "the" progressive song... There are so many, in my book, that would deserve that title. I can try mentioning a few which are particularly meaningful to me, though: KC - Epitaph and Starless Yes - CTTE ELP - Tarkus PF - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Jethro Tull - the whole TAAB album

	There are way too many to choose from. Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt (well, thinking in general ). I'll go with my first favorite, and one of the best, "Supper's Ready."

	It's impossible for me, like others have said, ask me tomorrow and i'll have a totally different opinion. At least today, my favorite prog song is Hemipheres by Rush.

	I can't decide between these songs of Gentle Giant: "Nothing At All", "Time To Kill" and "Design"...

	This is such a hard topic. Very hard to choose but if I had to I'd pick... Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Storm
	When the world is sick Can't no one be well But I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong

	Dancing With the Moonlit Knight is pretty much perfection. That opening, that voice!
