For me as a Pink Floyd fan (my favorite band for years)  it's very easy -  Shine on!  Wink

Coin flip for me on KC and PF. All great songs.

I would go with 21st Century in the end.

The current scores (virtually equal) proves in a way that you were right about this being a hard poll, whilst for me, it was an easy selection for Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

I'll never forget walking down onto the floor to get to my second row tickets at for Rush while King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man was blasting over the giant speakers... felt so... grandiose!

For that and many more reasons I picked the ol' KC

went with "Heart Of The Sunrise" but let me tell you that this is a very hard poll for me to decide as I love all the songs mentioned. Reason I voted Heart Of The Sunrise is because I feel it defines early prog best it has all the elements I enjoy.    Smile

Great choices!! Great Polls come from Argentine vein only!

I'm not that keen on 21st Century Schizoid Man, and much less compared to the other 3.

SOYCD: 4.5 stars
Cinema Show: 4 stars
Heart of the Sunrise: 4 stars
21st Century Schizoid Man: 3.5 stars

Best: SOYCD
Fave: hmm, difficult.. Cinema Show or SOYCD
Vote: SOYCD

EDIT!: Oh wait! It's just Pt 1 from SOYCD... My vote goes to Cinema Show.

Only Shine on You Crazy Diamond part 1? What about parts 2 through 9?
 
But I voted for that.

I meant the first half of the song (the first track in the disc), I suppose it's something like pt1-5.

That is one evil poll, and only one vote!!
 
I went Shine On, as it was one of the first prog rock songs I heard, fell in love with it straight away.
 
The very first prog rock song i heard was when i was a little kid.. "Four Holes In The Ground" PFM.. for about 20 years I didnt know who it was by, no one knew.  (story is long winded and it will save) lol.
