The progression is just perfect, the tune is fantastic and catchy and Hamill's voice is just... REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD.

	King Crimson - Fracture because of Fripp's guitar and the intensity of the song.

	Prog - Harmonium - Depuis l'Automne, because I miss listenning to nice french lyrics with excellent music Not Prog - Anouar Brahem - Thimar, because the melodies are enchanting

	Porcupine Tree-Nine Cats The definite high point in what is a very varied and erratic album.
	Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

	I just bought Sweet Smoke - Darkness to Light and Just a Poke and I really adore the first track on Just a Poke, "Baby Night" because of the alternating jazz and symphonic sounds created. In fact the whole album is superb, an excellent purchase, I'd say. Edited by cacha71 - January 18 2008 at 12:58

	Hard to choose. Indeed I quote 3 songs: 1. *Barclay James Harvest: "Child of he Universe" (all versions):* Magical song. Probably the song Prog more difficult to build. It is a simple example of Rock with a great feeling. Heavy the arrangements that transforms this song in a great example of Symphonic Prog! 2. *Atomic Rooster: "Death Walks Behind You":* We are on the birth of Death / Black Metal. Incredible song for the 1970. But still today very extreme! 3. *Rainbow: "Kill The King" (live from "On Stage"):* Certainly Rush have invented the Prog Metal. But it is also true that if we talk about today Symphonic/ Power Metal we owe it to Rainbow. "Kill The King" is at the same time Prog Metal and Symphonic/ Power Metal. Of course other Rainbow's songs are more magical. But "Kill The King" is more important. Edited by Mandrakeroot - January 18 2008 at 12:43

	"The Machine" - the Pax Cecilia. this song just rocks. plain and simple. the guitar's insane rythmic riffage and the awesome beat the drummer offers up add to the insane energy this song gives off. i love it. reminds me of the dillinger escape plan if they... were... a... post ... band... kinda weird.
	What im listening to

	Twin Age - Twelve feet tall, great band grea piece. from Lialim high - 1997 Among the best neo-prog albums, much better than many praised albums from this genre. Fruupp - Crystal brook from The prince of heaven's eyes - 1974, great piece great album, very underrated band, to me among the best from the '70's, they desearve much more attention Fruupp - Mistery might - Modern masquerade - 1975, again super, recommended band.

	Van der Graaf Generator- A Plague of Lighthouse Keeper's It's just such an intense, cathartic song and it goes through so many styles. The musicianship is great and so is Peter Hammill's voice. As much as I love their other songs, I think this is the masterpiece. It's also great when you're around people that like pop music and they say "all right, you can pick one song", not knowing that 23 minute epics exist.

	Right now it has to be "Last Song" by MOVING GELATINE PLATES.It's a 15 minute ride with other-worldly drumming on it.Sax,organ and guitar is outstanding as well.
	"The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

	Pax Cecilia - The Tragedy Very interesting concept. I find the singer to be like STeve Wilson...can't really sing but a very nice voice. The piano is doing some strange melodic shapes too.

	Schizoid Man conquers all, but if we remove the favourite concept, I'm seriously getting into Uriah Heep's 'Look At Yourself' and Focus' 'Birth'. Look At Yourself is there because it's extremely catchy, has Byron's amazing voice and hard rock with organ, which is always nice. Edited by TGM: Orb - January 18 2008 at 14:38

	At the moment, it would be Symphony X's The Odyssey. A pure prog-metal magnum opus, extremely well written an played.

	"Solar Winds" off of Devin Townsend's Ziltoid the Omniscient "Into Thin Air" off of Glass Hammer's Culture of Ascent "A Sky about to Rain" off of Anekdoten's A Time of Day "Never the Same" off of Echolyn's As the World "The Door" off of Neal Morse's Sola Scriptura As for why I am loving all of these songs at the moment, these are all recently purchased albums which I have really been enjoying and these are the standout songs on those albums.
