One might call the 2nd side of Steve Hillage's "Green" an epic too, named "Om Rock", although it is divided into 6 different tracks. The 6 tracks are played as one piece of music. The same is true for the 2nd side of Gong's "You", except for the first track of it, "Perfect Mystery"". Still it leaves an epic of 21:45 minutes, consisting of the two tracks "Isle of Everywhere" and "You never Blow yr Trip forever", that are played as one piece of music.

   The gates of delirium is the best epic imho .

  At 20 minutes it is not dragged out like close to the edge nor is it bits and pieces thrown together like Supper's ready.
How wonderful to be so profound

Close to the edge is the most epic and Emotional.

I LOVE 'Close to the edge' but for me 'Suppers ready' is simply a better song, its final section is the end that inspired most of the epics out there now.

I agree, someone brought up The Fountain of Lamneth, that is what i belive to be the best epic Rush has ever done, and its always overlooked. I suggest listening to it if you have not heard it, its a  goodin'.

BTW. WHAT IS CYNUS BOOK 11 DOING IN A GREATEST EPICS POLL?

It's not Book 11,it's Book II,and why shouldn't Cygnus X-1 Book II be in a greatest epics poll?

It's a great epic track(nearly 20 minutes)taking up one whole side of Hemispheres.Plus it's a great tune.

I'm gonna depart from form here & vote for TransAtlantic.

Another one of those "Which of these is best" sort of things where all the choices are correct.

Some of those are amongst the worst epics out there but CLOSE TO THE EDGE would always get my vote as the best ever.

I haven't heard the Banco, so out of those it's the Genesis. But one of the TMV ones would probably win if they were on it. Also Starless, despite not being all that long, manages to cram more epicness into 12 minutes than most people do in twenty
