TB takes you on a bit of a musical journey, as a good epic should do, through many guitars, and other instruments, played in a variety of styles from around the world, until we end up back in Blighty dancing the Sailor's Hornpipe. Indeed the final section of side one, from around 17:22 onwards is like the Young Person's Guide to the Rock Band. ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar."

Shine. It's the Pink Floyd week on PA, isn't it? TB is a patchwork of shorter things, not properly an epic and I think that Dabsong is underrated. It's the last great Caravan track. TFTO works well with the four tracks together. Karn Evil and Larks are great, too, but Shine is a step forward. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

| Very difficult choice especially with Yes at their peak. Sorry to be the 'what about' bore but Henry Cow's 'Living in the Heart of the Beast' is a tour de force as well. |

Revealing Science of God. This song inspired me to drop plans to attend medical school and pursue my present career in environmental science. "Let them rape the forests...." Not if I can help it. Peace, Charles ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

There are here some great epic tracks I love. But, my vote goes to Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Another very hard choice between Gates and Shine On... But it has to go to Shine On. ------------- I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!) Check out my music on https://tempestsounds.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - my bandcamp ! |

| Since no one else voted for it, I went with Kraftwerk's Autobahn. I long ago wore out SOYCD, while I've been on a Kraftwerk kick the past year or so. |

Gates > KE9 > Shine On ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Somehow missed this first time. Voted Gates as I always do in these types of polls. Interesting to see Kraftwerk included. I've been watching a few Andy Edwards videos on y/t recently and he has highlighted their importance and wider influence on music. |
