I only know, Tempano, Marillion, VdGG and Floyd...
my vote goes to Marillion because i love that song, in fact is my favorite song of Misplaced Childhood
Tempano´s El Fin de la Infancia is great

Since you asked me to choose, prog rock is great and all, but Arthur C.
Clarke is a towering figure indeed! I'll put Dick Gaughan second, because the
odds against Dick Gaughan being mentioned on this site were incalculable!

I voted for the TÉMPANO one: the 20-plus minute instrumental suite that shares its name with their best album so far is a delicious prog feast for the most demanding prog gourmet. It's unbelievable that it was done at the start of this millennium...
VDGG's one comes as a very close second, one of the most emotional-and-intellectual suites ever written by Hammill, but since I prefer other heart-and-mind oriented long compositions by him ('Scorched Earth', 'Man-Erg'), TÉMPANO won.

99 percent agree!!!
Tempano's suite is a masterpice!!!
Tempano's best albums so far is "Agony and Extasy" IMO.

no I did not know all these existed, I did a search on Yahoo because I knew of 3 (VdGG, Pink Floyd, Marillion) if I left out your favorite I apologize there are probably others I missed.
