Hmm...i think that supper's ready, shine on you crazy diamond, close to the edge, and gates of delirum really are great strong example of prog rock.

I voted Close to the Edge
And here are my top 10 prog tracks (at least for the hour):
1 - Yes - South Side of the Sky
2 - Pink Floyd - Shine On you Crazy Diamond
3 - Genesis - In The Cage
4 - ELP - Karn Evil 9
5 - King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
6 - Yes - Close to the Edge
7 - Genesis - Supper's Ready
8 - Yes - Gates of Delirium
9 - Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
10 - José Cid - Mellotron o Planeta Fantástico
It's really hard so choose a best track, for several reasons. The first reason would be the length of the songs, Karn Evil 9 is a complete side with 8 minutes from side A, which, altough it's the same song, has three complete diferent parts; now, Comfortably Numb is only a 6 minutes song that is a part from the Wall part 2. What i'm saying is that songs like Supper's Ready or Close to the Edge make half an album, and a song like Aqualung belongs to a album concept. It was fun trying to rate tracks and very difficult to not choose tracks like Anne of Cleves - Rick Wakeman wich i couldn't separate from the whole album. Anyway here's my list.
