well we have a best ending thread, why not a best interlude thread... ok, Rush has a lot of them, 'jacobs ladder' might be my favorite of all time, 'the trees' has a good one as well. dream theater 'new millenium', 'metropolis pt. 1' styx 'come sail away' (shut up you know its cool) |

21st Century Schizoid Man .. of course Gentle Giant - Peel The Paint - Love this amazing guitar solo! Genesis - The Musical Box - what more needs to be said about Hackett's incredible and historic solos! VdGG - Killer - One of David's most insane moments! -------------

Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus--The Mars Volta (nice buildup and climax section) Close to the Edge (I Get Up, I Get Down)--Yes (the most beautiful section in a song ever) Shine on You Crazy Diamond (since the interlude is more or less the song itself, thos one deserves recognition) Fatal Tragedy --Dream Theater (not a big DT fan but this interlude/outro instrumental never ceases to make me remember the old days when i was a Dt fanboy...) ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I thought this thread would have been more popular, anyway... Rush - La Villa Strangiato, The Necromancer, Cygnus X-1 Yes - Heart of the Sunrise, Close To The Edge Pink Floyd - Dogs Jethro Tull - MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY!, A Passion Play Dream Theater - (wow there's alot!) METROPOLIS PT. 1, FATAL TRAGEDY, TAKE THE TIME, SCARRED, A CHANGE OF SEASONS (Darkest of Winters), PANIC ATTACK ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

yeah just listened to that again earlier, far and away my favortie G.G. song, and a top 5 fav. prog song. Call me a wuss, but that middle section (forgot to mention the mellotron touches along with the piano and sweet vocals) puts shivers down my spine. Just plain gorgous music. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| South Side of the Sky - the piano and vocal section is excellent, and so different to the rest of the song. |

Kansas ... "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" is a pretty well worked out middle section I think probably the best composing I`ve heard for a middle section (not most complex but most effective), however Kansas never get much credit on this site so I don`t expect you to agree
