In quantity probably Pink Floyd but Genesis made one epic that is above all... and also several mini-epics (around 10') that are fantastic too.
The question for me is that Yes seemed to create epics only to show the musicianship and abilities of their members while Genesis, PF, JT and others preferred to tell stories/histories (nor ever well succeeded but they tried).

Epic, Schmepic! Where's Joes Garagage? What is this, some kinda conspiracy? Just who d'you think you are? Hunh? You can't dis Zappa, the King Sh*t of Turd Island! You'll pay for this you TINY FOOLS! Joe's Garage is the epic of episcs, the Holy Grail of all that is epic. I'm ashamed. You've shattered all my illusions. I need a shower. I feel dirty.

Why not, some people like Symphony X, why can't you just accept that fact...

And I WOULD HAVE TO QUESTION THAT..., but I don't because that's your opinion and I tolerate it, because tastes are different...

When it comes to Epics no one does it better than Yes!
I mean...have you heard Close to the edge or gates of delirium recently? I shall speak no more...

Disc 1 OWNS Disc 2 though...
My opinion: Tie between Genesis, Yes and ELP

As much as I love "Supper's Ready", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Echoes", "The Plague Of The Lighthouse Keepers" or other stuff, it has to be YES: "Close To The Edge", "Gates Of Delirium", "Awaken", "The Revealing Science Of God" or "The Ancient"..., they are the (uncrowned?) kings of epic prog.

WOW this is a tough one! Had to go with Symphony X because of "Odyssey", "Divine Wings Of Tragedy" , "Through The Looking Glass". Runner-up to Rush then Spock's Beard.

Supper's Ready is my favorite epic, but it's the only one Genesis ever did, so Yes.
