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. ------------- Enhance your life.

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. ------------- I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry. |

Ryker Skies and Province are both excellent and so is Sacred Sound and Harvest of Souls...but in the end chose Province. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

TLHG. Not only is it my favorite IQ epic but it's also one of my favorite 20ish minute epics of all time. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

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". ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

The Last Human Gateway Excellent list of epics and there was a few others that could have taken the vote ------------- Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."
