The Amoria map on Maple Story has one bar in 7/8ths, so that gets my vote.

Katamari Damacy - Angel Gift

Playing the game stoned and having that song play is one of the most gratifying feelings I've ever had.

as for chrono cross, I really love this song, especially when it's played during a battle:

If that isn't prog then I'm not sure what is

That's my favorite game of all time! Big smile

Great music too. Man, that brings memories back.

It's superb, isn't it? It's one of my all-time faves too. It's rare that a game makes me genuinely laugh out loud, but there's some hilarious stuff in there (and some top notch platformy puzzley RPGy fun to boot).

It's kind of hard to follow up the Paper Mario song (how did they allow that into the game?). I have found Final Fantasy to have its share of progginess, but my submission comes from Chrono Cross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHouO-9uOg
I'm sure I'll stumble upon more songs as the day goes on.

It's just for the title screen. Always made me grin from ear to ear when it started up and got me in a great frame of mind for the game, which is highly tongue-in-cheek. The actual in-game music is a little less intrusive (but still pretty quirky and fun).

Most songs from  Total Annihilation. Though to be honest it's closer to classical than prog.

FF have had some very unprog moments, but still good none the less. Memories Of Life from FFIX and the theme from FF:CC in particular are very good folk inspired tunes.

what do you think of the tune in my link? it's almost 8 minutes of pure prog.

yeah, jenova's theme reminds me of 70s prog mixed with electronica.

as for dancing mad, it has strong ELP influences, probably the proggiest FF song.
