I've picked three really iconic songs that would definitely give described as "Anthem" of the subgenres Proto-Prog and Prog Related. It's my personal selection, if you have any better suggestion, please write it.

Child in Time. I saw Bohemian Rhapsody a second after I clicked it. But I stay solid with Child In Time. I remember it from being 5 years old listening to it on the Made In Japan vinyl, thinking that 10 minutes was a really long time (lol)

Three iconic prog-related songs indeed. Not the easiest choice, but I prefer Bohemian Rhapsody.

If I'm ignoring the massive overplay of Stairway and Bohemian, as a song Stairway To Heaven gets my vote. It's a perfect song.

Three great songs. I was about to vote for child in time but I remember that it has been stolen to "It's A Beautiful Day" as well as I have heard the ancestor of  "Strange Kind of Woman" but I don't remember the band, so I go for Bohemians Rhapsody which is the most "Zeuhl" thing done by the Queen.Big smile

Never dug DP, even if it was "Child in Time". "The Bohemian Rhapsody" is good, but not great. Went with the ladder. It's melodic (I mean, it's got tacky and sweet melodies), it's got an arrangement build-up, and it used to give me some kind of a warm feeling inside. Classic. After hearing it five-six years ago I just gave up the whole notion that there is no such thing as a 5/5 kind of song.

Let me add that in the first case it's a "legal" copy. The authors were happy to have it reworked by the Deep Purple, it seems.

Yes it is legal. 'It's a Beautıful Day' gave as a present the song to Deep Purple, and later on Deep Purple returned the present. Gave the song 'Wring that Neck' to them, and you can find it in their second album 'Marrying Maiden'.
But I can't remember the name of the song right now, sorry...

I like all 3 a lot, but slight edge to Bohemian Rhapsody.

I'm not a Queen fan, so it's between Child in Time and Stairway to Heaven for me. I think it's Child in Time: it's got better lyrics (in my opinion), better vocal performance and better guitar solo.
