Watcher of The Skies is one of my favorite intros/prog songs EVER.

Hmm Funeral For A friend is a work in and of itself. And it is great. Watcher's intro is "just an intro". Three terrific pieces.
This makes me think of Rush lyrics; let's see if you can decide which, I choose not to. |

Both great, but Genesis just wins for me.
The one track that I think pips both is Hero and Heroine by Strawbs. Short, but magnificent.

Genesis The Revealing Science of God is cooler than both indeed

Hard to choose. I'll have to think about it before I can vote.

I would have pitted Genesis' Watcher' against U.K.'s Alaska. With that said, WATCHER'.

Personally, I think Emerson Lake and Palmer's Pirates, and Rush's Big Money have the most grand prog-like openers.

Went for Elton John. Well, Dream Theater doing Elton John to be more precise.
Still think this would've been more interesting if we had more than 2 to choose from though... Edited by RoeDent - October 17 2016 at 11:36 |

Between these two, Elton John. Watcher of The Skies just sounds so bland.
But if I had to pick an all-time most majestic intro, it would probably be The Revealing Science of God. |
