Moon in June (Soft Machine)

Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of Paris. It was basically the soundtrack of my month stay there, and the lyrics were related to what was happening at the time too. I listened to this song on the flight there, in the airport, and when I was traveling in the metro. Good times.

Rush - Xanadu

Modra Rijeka... great album..

Starless - King Crimson

Shine on You Crazy Diamon - Pink Floyd.

All 24 minutes played together, as a matter of fact. I just find it to be a truely beautiful piece of music, great intro, great instrumental passages, and vocals. It must be one of the most relaxing pieces of music I've heard, whenever I'm particularly stressed, this is the song I need to calm down (once again, complete, all 24 min).

As a matter of fact, it's particularly difficult to choose only one song, there are several others (and not few) that could easily have made my choice, and surely many others that won't immediatley come to mind that would also be worthy choices. From Pink Floyd I could also have chosen Dogs, or Echoes, or High Hopes. From Yes I chould have chosen Awaken (or Gates of Delirium). From Genesis I could have chosen Firth of Fifth (or Supper's Ready). From King Crimson I could have chosen Epitaph (or Starless, live version - From Collectible King Crimson Vol. 1, CD 1, Live in Mainz). From Jethro Tull it could have been Thick as a Brick (as it appears on Live, bursting out, which I feel is more coherent than the original studio version). From Harmonium it chould have been Histoires Sans Paroles. From Led Zeppelin it could have been Stairway to Heaven. And then some less obviuous choices but also excellent... well that would be too much for this post.

The Cage - Genesis

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Built from only four notes a beautiful melody emerges and develops. A haunting intro, stellar guitar playing that carries that melody all through, good poetic lyrics (Waters best imo), great arrangements.  

My favorite piece of music from the first note to the last. The best parts are 6 and 7, love that whooping lap steel guitar solo. 

King Crimson - Lizard Always loved that epic far more than anything else from the golden days of British progrock movement.
