GYBE! - Dead Flag Blues
The car is on fire...and there's no driver at the wheel...the government is corrupt... This song is truly amazing...after the first part finishing with the train the guitar riff is the significance of beauty itself.

Hmm. Most beautiful in prog IMO........ Copernicus by The Mars Volta. Aspirations by Gentle Giant. Starless by King Crimson. The Snow Goose (Whole Album) by Camel. Blaise Bailey Finnegan III by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Crystal Silence by Chick Corea. Ricochet by Tangerine Dream. Boundless Voyage (Final Fantasy III)and Prelude (Final Fantasy I) by Nobuo Uematsu from the album Pray. Sophisticated Lady by Duke Ellington (I know it's not "prog" but Jazz is progressive). Dawn by Mahavishnu Orchestra.....etc......
I can't really choose which is the most beautiful to me. This is a hard question.
Bbf3 is an astonishing an also very mysterious song...we have no idea of who is really speaking and who really wrote the poem also featured in the song Virus from Maiden (written by Blaze)...because Blaise Bailey Finnegan the third is a deformation of Blaze Bayley from Iron Maiden (some people say that there's no relation between the two names but I don't believe it). Maybe the guy in Bbf3 (who is also speaking in the song Providence from Godspeed about the end of the world) was really the first to write this poem because in the song he says: I don't see why I shouldn't read you MY poem...

So true. For me it is 'Sleep' from Lift your skinny.. that realy drives me insane, it's out of this world, it's apocalyptic, pure beauty
Did you know that Coney Island featured in Sleep as the "playground of the world" really exist? Google it, you'll find funny references to the song and GY!BE mentality. Also, did you know that the noise in the backround at the begining is from an air-trap?

Agree with both of you here. My first listen to GY!BE was less than a year ago (it was "Lift Yr Skinny..") and on first listen I was transported into a sad tragic inner movie of my own life. I had to pull the car over and soak it all in. Geezus H Thumbscrews... I may like the following album (with "Rockets Fall...") even better too.
I saw "Aspirations" mentioned above, good call. That one's definitely up there.

A lesser known one that I was listening to just now is by the Icelandic group Hinn Íslenski Þursaflokkur, who as far as I know only made one album in the late 70s but it's great - beauty, power, melodic charm, neat tunes, the works. One track in particular is just stunningly beautiful. I have to look it up again because all the titles are in Icelandic, which I can't even pronounce much less spell. It's track 8... "Skriftagangur" it's called. Jeepers.
