After careful consideration, I think the best side ever has got to be side 2 of Meddle by Pink Floyd. It is simply unbeatable.

instead of an album side of one song, what is your favourite album side full stop.
this can be prog or non-prog if you like. Not sure whether modern albums are relevant necessarily to this discussion, since I am not always sure what would constitute one particular album side on a CD.

some of my inputs:

Amused to Death - Roger Waters - side 1
IV - Led Zeppelin - side 1
Abbey Road - The Beatles - side 2
Crime of the century - Supertramp - side 1
Close to the edge - Yes - side 2
