Overrated Prog Songs

   Many lengthy 'classics' of the 70s aren't especially better than the other works of the same bands.  But they're so often hailed as being all-time top ten material by fans.  How much of that worship is merely due to extra minutes?  Supper's Ready isn't vastly better than Watcher Of The Skies, it's just longer (which gives it more time to show off, I suppose).  Close To The Edge isn't vastly better than Siberian Khatru, it's just longer.  And so froth.

	What Prog Rock songs out there do you think get too much praise but you think are not that great
