Of King Crimson I would have listed "Lizard". And where is "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers"?

I vote for "Wassilissa" of Mother Gong's "Fairy Tales" album, a 23 minute epic telling the tale of a young girl changed into an old woman and back to young girl again by the witch Baba Yaga. Gilly Smythe tells the tale wonderfully, and the band supports exactly the right music to it. The best part is the sax solo of Didier Malherbe in the episode "Flying". Something our kids love to listen to too, if only for the fairy tale told there. The two other fairy tales ("The Three Tongues" and "The Pied Piper of Hamlin") are great also.

For me it would be Tarkus. The whole song flows greatly together. I think That Supper's Ready and Close to the Edge each have their weaker moments but Tarkus flows nicely the whole way. I must admit I like the pompous keyboards parts. Close to the Edge would be my second choice and Echoes third. Where is Thick as a Brick on this list?

A difficult choice between Supper's Ready and Close To The Edge, but at the and decided to gove my vote to Yes (Supper's ready has some relatively weak moments close to the end).

Close To The Edge... it's the best prog composition(cant call it a song  ) by far. And You And I would be my number two, then Supper's Ready, then Starless.

Close To The Edge
but there's no...
Necromancer - Rush
Awaken - Yes
Achilles Last Stand - Led Zep (definitely prog, even if they weren't otherwise!) and their best track!

From the list i went for Supper's Ready, i would then go for Close to the Edge... then there are surely some missing songs in the list, for example, Hemispheres and 2112 of Rush, The Great Nothing and The Water of Spock's Beard, Grendel of Marillion, Thick as a Brick and Passion's Play of Jethro Tull... but sure those posted there are very representative, excepting Fracture and Anne

This isn't remotely difficult CTTE is the best piece of music ever written with Gates a close second, but I do love Supper's Ready too and many others.

I voted for" Echoes" earlier and gave "Starless" a close second with "Tarkus". Have just been listening to "Starless" and wow! Easily imo KC's 'magnum opus'. Because of its technical layers musically and sheer brilliance in the way the piece builds through out to its jazz inspired finale - it is moving into the number one position.

From the list I went for Close to the Edge, though my favorite long track at the moment is Stranger in your Soul from Transatlantic.

Good God Cert,your progress is amazing! 6 months ago you wouldnt have admitted any similarities between SR and Grendel-now you are even joking about it
And no 100 line epic answer either
|
I've always said that the penultimate section practically is the "Apocalypse in 9/8" riff from Supper's Ready - but that the rest of the song is pure Marillion
|
I am starting to believe it is better than Supper's Ready! The story is really exciting and the music very evocative.The emotion that Fish wrings out of his voice-wow! He is the Gielgud of the prog world!
|
...Fish's theatrical singing style and mastery of lyrics is at an all-time for that tune. Nevermind "the musicians" of Marillion hadn't caught up with him yet and had to plagerize a tad to weave the music for this tune....Grendel is the superior to Supper's Ready.
