So there are a lot of possibilities, I'm sorry if I didn't take the one you may like the most.
My favourtie is "The Odyssey", an incredible and immortal piece of work. I've never noticed such a good songwriting. And never there was such a good interaction between music, lyrics and vocals.
So now chose yourself!

Octavarium instead of ACOS? Two Symphony X songs? A severe lack of my choice, Karn evil nine? Should've included an "other" option... among other things.

I haven't heard half of the songs, so I'm in no position to vote.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

A Plague of a Lighthouse Keepers from that list, but my real favorite is Living in the Heart of the Beast by Henry Cow ..

I'm currently listening to Echoes... heyyyy... speaking of which!  Where is that song on here!  Still, though.  Shine on You Crazy Diamond won the vote for me.

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, but Supper's Ready and Shine On are wonderful as well

Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Gates of Delirium should have been on the list.

There are so many good tracks in that list that make it very hard to chose just one.While I was very tempted to go with the classic Supper's Ready and CTTE,I picked 2112.

I use to enjoy Grobschnitt's  "Die Symphonie" , ( Bonus track of their first album .. )

29 minutes of true music...

Otherwise, i would shine on you crazy diamonds , although echoes is better :)

The breathtaking "Plague of lighthouse keepers" to me, is so far ahead of the rest, only "Supper's ready" is in sight. (Although "Close to the edge" is a nearby third to S.R.)  I think its the almost poetic and full of meaning word's of Hammill in "Plague" and the Alice in wonderland approach of Gabriel's word in Supper's Ready. The silly words of Jon Anderson in Close to the edge, still work well with the music though. Sad how Yes's stuff became such crap after Close to the edge though. I'd say Topographic oceans, while a great title, was the biggest let down in music history.

Enjoyed "Echoes", also by the way, which to me, is a better Pink Floyd longie than shine on.

There are also 2 IQ songs and 2 Flower Kings songs.
I couldn't decide   
And i had Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons but then i remembered Rush's 2112 and I turned it out of that list.

Furthermore, for all of them who didn't see their favourite longtrack in that list I'm sorry but that's almost impossible.

This for me has a joint top number 1 in Dream Theater, the mighty Pink Floyd and the mighty Rush, with synphony x (the oddessy) and spooks beard, shodow gallery and IQ coming second and jonit thirds respectivly.
