Space-Dye Vest springs to mind instantly. Ironically, I'd say it's the only successfully "beautiful" song DT ever made.

I can't believe I forgot about this prog song:
 
 
 
A very nice song if I do say so.
 
Hard to believe the bass player plays for Blind Guardian and the drummer plays for Rhapsody (Of Fire) Tongue

Damn I loved UK.....they broke up way too soon...might have saved us from ASIA....Danger Money, Night After Night, Ceasar Palace Blues,  As Long as You Want Me Here all great stuff.....I hated it when Ian Anderson grabbed Eddie Jobson for his "A" album (after Jethro Tull/UK 79 tour). It gave John Wetton too much time on his hands...the first ASIA was good (the rest were crap), but no where near as good as UK.....glad you mentioned them

REALLY nice suggestions, thanks!  I have many bands to track down! 

I've always been partial to this particular song, Fripp's solos are classic!!

That Kamelot - Anthem song is a good choice!
 
But my favorite 'beautiful' song by them would have to be Don't You Cry:
