Simple. I saw a lot of polls about great prog epics but none of them contained these songs. I was especially surprised that there were polls with Tarkus and Echoes, but none with Karn Evil or Shine on! I'd personally pick those two over any of the respective bands' songs  I like Shine on most here, but I think I'll vote for 9', the underdog. ------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

Man, this is killing me. I'll go for VDGG, probably just because I heard Pawn Hearts a couple of days ago, and rediscovered my love for that song

KE9 out of these. Nine Feet Underground is a bit too boring for me, they're all good though. |

While I like all four epics, my vote went to Caravan's lovely "Nine Feet Underground", which I think is more cohesive in compositional terms - and also on account of Richard Sinclair's gorgeous vocals. |

KE9 SOYCD is part of a wonderful album and works best book ending 3 of the greatest Floyd tracks A Plague is a brilliantly insane prog track and would be my second choice I don't have any Caravan albums and had to google the track title to find out who the band was

| Tough call! All are classics. To me Shine is the top of the heap followed closely by 9', Plague and lastly Karn Evil. |

I would have thought Karn Evil would have gotten more votes honestly. It was my favourite epic ever at some point Oh well, maybe someday. ------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

I'll have to go for SOYCD. Replace KE9 wth Tarkus and that would have won. Nine feet underground has a nice feel, but overall it's a little bland for my ears, as is most Caravan I've heard, which I admit is not that much. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I'm personally a much bigger fan of KE9, and Tarkus was already in a poll on the day I made this list, I made it to hear people's opinions on different songs! ------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

Pink Floyd, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

1) Shine on You Crazy Diamond . . . 2) Karn Evil 9 3) Nine Feet Underground 4) Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Shine on by a mile. Caravan and VDGG are a pretty close call. Nine is a recurring theme here (almost). Karn Evil 9 and Nine Feet Underground. Shine on has nine parts to it. Don't know about Plague though. ------------- Want to play mafia?
