This is so arbitrary. It would be so hard for me to even name my favorite album of the decade let alone my favorite song of all time. Though the prog restriction helps.
Right now I think I'll say Kayo Dot's Amaranth the Peddler
best crescendo ever, gives me chills every time.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I have abandoned the idea of a 'Top Song Ever' long, long ago. But here are some of my favourites:
- Magma - Köhntarkösz, Hhaï
- Iona - Bi-se I Mo Shuil - Part 2
- Genesis - Supper's Ready
- VdGG - La Rossa, Childlike Faith in Childhood's End
- Rush - Xanadu
- ELP - Tarkus, Karn Evil 9
- Pink Floyd - Echoes, Shine On
- Nick Drake - Road, Introduction, 'Cello Song
- Sweeney's Men - Dreams for Me, Standing on the Shore
- Saga - No Regrets, No Stranger

For me it is Genesis - The Cinema Show/Aisle of Plenty - pure genius and emotionally touches me like no other song.

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - VDGG
...that song takes me to a place no other song ever has. A dark, surreal but strangely very beautiful place.
I'd have to say it's my fav Prog song of all time.

Not 100% sure, but it's definitely Floyd.
Probably Shine On You Crazy Diamond (both tracks, all parts) or Sheep or Dogs.

Epitaph by King Crimson Is by far the best song I've ever heard.

Kind of random, but what Magma album would you recommend to someone who's never listened to them before? |
Kohntarkosz Ignore the people who say Attahk. It might be their most accessible but it's nowhere near the level of their classics and, ultimately, you need to hear MDK, Kohntarkosz, and LIve/Hhai (well, at least two of them) to be a fan of what people associate with the name Magma. It's best just to start with the classics. They're really not that inaccessible, especially Kohntarkosz. If you're brave, just get MDK.

Before loving Genesis, I could have tell ya Gates of Delirium or Tarkus or Echoes.
But I'm sure the 1st price is for Supper's Ready. 2nd and very very close, Thick as a Brick pt 1.
