Well said Gdub! Phil Collins should be tried by The Prog Court for robbery, assault and battery of an institution!

I think I'll have to agree with gdub411, I don't know what you are smoking but I cant find the narrative part about Atom Heatr Mother, althogh i stil have to listen to it backwards, maybe theres something there, eheh, no just kidding, butheres no story in AHM, nor in echoes.

I cant belive I forgot the two song that keep me from leaving this boring world!!

XANADU & CONFORTABLY NUMB (not to strong in story, but the hole song as a final product!!!!) maybe the best peices of music Ever!

I can't really decide between two of my favorites Epic songs, but I cast my vote to Supper's Ready, this song comprises all the moods, all the rythms that in every chapter or movement fit with the lyrics... A weird vision of the constant fight between the good and the evil, really... Karn Evil 9 ( my other contender ) is more serious with really clever lyrics written in part by Pete Sinfield (former KC). I guess I made a right choice...Supper's really rules!!!
