Voted other.

Can't seperate Yes - Awaken or Banco - Il Giardino del Mago

Banco's Metamorfosi and Museo Rosenbach's Zaruthstra are two other particular favourites of mine.

   I am going to suggest lesser known classics like 'The Valentyne Suite' by COLLOSEUM and 'The Love In Your Eye' suite by CARAVAN !!
Looking still the same after all these years...

I think many of the tracks you listed in the poll would be better defined as "epics" or "suites", as they are not just long, but also divided in several movements - as it is the case of KE 9, SOYCD, CTTE and Supper's Ready. BTW, although I love most of the tracks you mentioned, I voted for the utterly magnificent Starless. Every time I listen to it (I last did a couple of days ago) it just floors me. Pure brilliance!

Thick as a Brick millions light years ahead from these other ones. Ok, the others are all superb, but Thick as a brick is the most inventive progressive rock epic.

This list is pretty short and not entirely composed of epics. Anyway, I voted for other for The Gates of Delirium although I really like almost all of the other ones. But as always, I will admit that I don't really like Echoes and SOYCD from Pink Floyd. Great pieces of music without doubts, but I just personally doesn't find them exciting and fun to listen to. That is what I don't like from most of Pink Floyd's material. Sorry pro-Pink Floyd fans.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Hahahaha Good old John Cage

He's also the one who has hmmm... composed the famous piece : 4:33

For those who don't know about 4:33, just download it or enter a soundproof room for 4minutes and 33 seconds

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

From that list, Close to the Edge just beats Supper's Ready, but I think Gates of Delirium is even better.
