These "pick one" questions are tough. I have to say my favorite is "Oroborus" by Astra. LOVE THAT SONG!!!

I think I should have been more specific; that list is the list of the songs that received a relatively good number of votes. I did not count any songs that received only one vote, so "Metropolis" might have got a vote. Think I'm gonna augment that list.

I scrolled the whole topic and saw there was no Dream Theater yet.

I am approaching this from the point of view of "the song that sums up/defines prog the best". Lots of choices, but I'll go with Close to the Edge.

^ Revealing Science of God (dance of the dawn) is really good though. I think it's earned a shot at the title.

Pick one.

The Gates Of Delirium or Supper's Ready for the classic era; Cassandra Gemini for the modern era. Supper's Ready is probably my all time favourite overall - I had never heard anything like it at the time, and I still haven't - the pinnacle. |
So, "Supper" is your final answer? ... 666?

OK, forget that I said that. Think I'm getting warmer with ambient. ... F$%k. ... At this point I could pick anything from those Eno/Budd/Budd and Eno albums. ... . Put a gun to my head - "Steal Away" by Eno and Budd will be the one.

You said it. Well, it wasn't always my fave prog song, but maybe it will remain so for as long as I live.
