I simply can't do this. I will say that for a very long time 'Refugees' by Van Der Graaf Generator was my favourite song ever.

^There are a many Moody songs I like (Nights...Ride My See Saw....Thinking Is The Best ....Out And In...) but that one always connected with me.
Pretty big Kansas fan, mostly the earlier albums,.,,,and that track is really well constructed....

Hi,

Sadly, I don't do songs ... I only do full albums. 

I just can't separate pieces within a Symphony, or Concert by anyone ... it is all about the artist, not the song, for ME!

If I were to choose the albums, they would include AD2's Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings, and then CAN's Future Days and Soon Over Babbalooma. Choosing a "song" in those albums is nutz for me! It's impossible!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I think this is best Rick´s song. It´s naive sad melody just hits me! Just listened whole Arthur-album after long time, it was just so good to hear it again!


I really love that album. I'm just waiting for the new re-recorded version to arrive, actually... I hope it's got some good stuff to enjoy besides what we already know. I believe Rick himself considers the song Arthur to be his best song.
Rick has not ever been my big favourites as a solo artist, but I used to listen his three first solos as the days of my progfinding, so I have lots of warm memories with them.

I have my top 5 very well defined, but after that I really find difficult to choose whom I like better than the others, so:
- Pink Floyd: Shine on you Crazy Diamond (all 9 parts, that's actually my very favourite song of all).
- Yes: Awaken (specially the Keys to Ascension version).
- Dream Theater: Octavarium.
- Rick Wakeman: Arthur.
- Mike Oldfield: Ommadawn part 1.

A couple great choices.  If it wasn't for Fountain of Salmacis, Slippermen would have likely been mine too.  I don't like Renaissance at all (except the debut album with Jane Relf), but Can You Understand is the one Annie song I really like Wink
