Which song by whom would you choose as ProgArchives Anthem? Or maybe it's better to compose a new one?

Looking at Progarchives' top 3 :
The music of Close to the Edge but with the lyrics of Firth of Fifth and sang by Roger Waters.
Ok I don't want this to be done....

It should be a track which has elements of all subgenres...

One of two come to mind:
Either: Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (The Serious Choice)
Or: Porcupine Tree - The Nostalgia Factory (The Fun Choice!)
Just personal choices, of course!

I'd say Tavares "Don't take away the music" is the obvious choice..... well except for the complete lack of prog.

To something only slightly less hypnotic/seizure-inducing.

not as much a song... but a theme song... the main 'theme' to Museo
Rosenbach's Zarathrustra... It should greet each
member as they log on to PA's.... ohh.. now that's an idea....
*grabs the red phone.. the direct line to the penthouse of prog, the
Mt. Olympus of prog... where the Gods of Prog, our admin team,
watch us over us*

How about "DOA" by Bloodrock? I know it's not really prog, but it has the advantage of being a complete and total surprise to newbs who happen to chance upon the website...
