she feels wind around her
she feels a warming sun
she feels some raindrops wet her leaves
since that time she lost her griefs

Good choice! I also liked 'No quater' from 'Houses of the holy' The version on 'The song remains the same' is superb.

Hi, gdub411... it seems like I've skipped some big ones, such as FOCUS's 'Eruption', YES's 'The Gates of Delirium', CARAVAN's 'For Richard', SOFT MACHINE's 'Out-Bloody-Rageous', and ELP's 'Tarkus'
They are among my absolute epics in prog history.
