I was really worried until I saw that.

(Why do people keep picking "Court" as the best KC song? It was my first by them and it's really good, but Schizoid Man and Starless are far better imho.)

I chose "Court" primarily for the vast instrumentation (use of Harpsichord, Mellotron, organ, flute, etc), the sheer beauty of the melody and rock "orchestration" of it, and the absolutely wonderful vocal work of Lake.

Schizoid is a close second for me. Starless, meh. Honestly I am more a fan of Crimson's first four albums. After that point their music stopped really fitting my tastes.

As an ELP fan I might have to accept Tarkus as an entry for this thread. Of course I love a lot of their stuff but this track (especially the live version) is something very special. I doubt I would be a fan but for it.

Big Big Train - Judas Unrepentant . Not a bad choice here . I saw them live recently and this track was by a massive margin the highlight especially with the audience participation. But again I love a lot of their music.

btw people are missing the point of this thread. Its a question of whether there is one track that is clearly above all else. Doesn't mean that everything else is not good as its being taken by some!

I agree with you up to a point i.e. If we don't ever listen to the 'other' songs' it might imply that we either don't ascribe them any value or haven't even heard them.

Not songs, but Thirty Seconds to Mars' self-titled debut album is unbelievably superior to any of their other albums.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

I think that most topics on this forum are slowly but inexorably converging onto the subjective singularity of I'm more proggy than you are....

Genesis - Firth of Fifth
I really want to get into Genesis more though, but everything else I heard yet wasn't as perfect as this one.
I will probably get out now...
...or by Friday

I don't know. This is pretty amazing

For me, Tarkus, is ELP's magnus opus. I like it far more than Karn Evil 9. 

I LOVE Rise Today from Alter Bridge but can't find anything else from them that does it for me like that song does.  Not prog, sorry. First day back from vacation and still feeling the effects

There must be an equation to derive a tracks comparability with other tracks....if maths can put a man on the moon then surely even some of the extreme nuttery of this site can be rationalized...
