Plague. But if The Lamb had been here, it would have gotten my vote (I consider it one long epic in the true sense of the word).

Close To The Edge for me.

Starless came close, but definitely Plague of the Lighthouse Keepers.  Nothing tops that.

Ah, I know a few people don't know VdGG that well, but it seems that everyone knew Rush's epic. I dunno, maybe just an illusion on my part! Both are obviously highly recommended from me.

Interestingly, none of these is my favourite by any of the bands.
 
I'm voting for Shine On You Crazy Diamond, which is majestic.  Second is Suppers Ready, just ahead of Tarkus (though the Welcome Back My Friends version of Tarkus tops the lot).
 
Like BaldFriede I much prefer Gates Of Delirium to Close To The Edge, and had that been an option it may have got my vote.

Supper's Ready by a noselength.
 
Note: I agree with Rune2000 and BaldFriede that Lizard fits better in this list, but if I had to choose a KC epic, it would be Starless.

I also feel more people would have voted for "Echoes" as magnum opus of Pink Floyd than for the divided "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
