The IQ epics

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As the Prog polls section is absolutely out of control right now (And I guess, most of this falls on me ), I will have the pleasure to add another poll, of course. The IQ epics, as I know how well respected they are here on PA, this one should be interesting! For me, it will be 'Ryker Skies' from 2009's 'Frequency'.

	Virtually impossible to vote, really. The middle section of Human Gateway still towers above a lot of music to this day. Without Walls and Until The End from Road of Bones are modern classics. The Seventh House drips emotion. Oh, I could go on and on. My vote goes to Harvest of Souls, which still brings out the goosebumps.

	Love Ryker Skies as well, but had to vote for The Great Spirit Way. Recently I've been enjoying their somewhat obscure 'The Dark Christmas Suite' as well. Really a great IQ epic with some interesting takes on the holiday songbook.

	Ryker Skies and Province are both excellent and so is Sacred Sound and Harvest of Souls...but in the end chose Province.

	TLHG. Not only is it my favorite IQ epic but it's also one of my favorite 20ish minute epics of all time.

	Harvest of Souls, just over Stronger than Friction.
	Welcome to the middle of the film.

	I can't vote - there are just too many. Harvest of Souls, The Narrow Margin, The Darkest Hour, Guiding Light, The Last Human Gateway, Widows Peak, Sacred Sound, Constellations; all close to perfection. And I'd add Leap of Faith to the list. But the best choice is to mimic Top Gear's May, Clarkson and Hammond when they arrived in Blackpool after taking three British classic sports cars (a Lotus, an Jensen Healey and a TVR) on a road trip across England and trying to choose the best. They agreed "they're all the best". Edited by Hercules - January 08 2021 at 03:04
	A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.
