From that list, Close to the Edge just beats Supper's Ready, but I think Gates of Delirium is even better.

Hahahaha Good old John Cage

He's also the one who has hmmm... composed the famous piece : 4:33

For those who don't know about 4:33, just download it or enter a soundproof room for 4minutes and 33 seconds

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

This list is pretty short and not entirely composed of epics. Anyway, I voted for other for The Gates of Delirium although I really like almost all of the other ones. But as always, I will admit that I don't really like Echoes and SOYCD from Pink Floyd. Great pieces of music without doubts, but I just personally doesn't find them exciting and fun to listen to. That is what I don't like from most of Pink Floyd's material. Sorry pro-Pink Floyd fans.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Thick as a Brick millions light years ahead from these other ones. Ok, the others are all superb, but Thick as a brick is the most inventive progressive rock epic.

I think many of the tracks you listed in the poll would be better defined as "epics" or "suites", as they are not just long, but also divided in several movements - as it is the case of KE 9, SOYCD, CTTE and Supper's Ready. BTW, although I love most of the tracks you mentioned, I voted for the utterly magnificent Starless. Every time I listen to it (I last did a couple of days ago) it just floors me. Pure brilliance!

   I am going to suggest lesser known classics like 'The Valentyne Suite' by COLLOSEUM and 'The Love In Your Eye' suite by CARAVAN !!
Looking still the same after all these years...

Voted other.

Can't seperate Yes - Awaken or Banco - Il Giardino del Mago

Banco's Metamorfosi and Museo Rosenbach's Zaruthstra are two other particular favourites of mine.

I'm assuming "long" means 15+ minutes long. If so, these are my favs:

"Gates of Delirium"

"Supper's Ready" 

"Close to the Edge"

"Cassandra Geminni"

"Echoes"

"Awaken"

21st Century Schizoid Man is not an epic by any strectch of the imagination. 7 minutes really isn't that long.

My vote goes for Echoes. Although I do like SOYCD and Karn Evil.
