I would really struggle to narrow the list down to my Top 100 Prog-Rock *albums*, never mind my Top 10 Prog-Rock *songs*, and even naming my Top 10 songs by a single artist isn't an easy task, so I'm afraid it's a Mission Impossible for me. "This post will self-destruct in five seconds"

Oh dear, that's difficult, but I'll give it a try: In no particular order: David Bowie - "Subterraneans" Can - "Halleluwah" Genesis - "The Carpet Crawlers" King Crimson - "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" part 1 Mew - "Hawaii" Mike Oldfield - "Tubular Bells" part 1 Pink Floyd - "Time" Radiohead - "Paranoid Android" Sigur Rós - "Svefn-g-englar" Talking Heads - "Seen And Not Seen" (if it counts) |

Lol, this isn't goin to be anywhere near an accurate list if I include more than one from one artist. I'll keep it to one per artist so I can contribute.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Genesis - Supper's Ready Rush - Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage Yes - South Side Of The Sky King Crimson - Starless Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Premiata Forneria Marconi - Appena Un Po Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Tarkus Pink Floyd - Sheep I think that's a reasonably accurate list of my favorite songs from each of those ten artists.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Huh. I guess being a prog fan is great for this kind of stuff because you have the option to pick a song that's the equivalent of an entire album side (or more nowadays). Sacro put the entirety of Thick as a Brick!
I mean, for limited picks, I'd definitely throw in some tunes that are as long as half an album or more. It's like a hack for desert island picks.

Pink Floyd - Echoes Can - Spoon Björk - Yoga Talk Talk - After the Flood David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees Cardiacs - Big Ship Amon Düül II - Kismet Supertramp - A Soapbox Opera Camel - Never Let Go Kate Bush - Suspended in Gaffa (I left out Rubycon and Holger's genius work Träum Mal Wieder, because they don't really fit the term "Song", whereas "Echoes" just about does.)
