I know it's the obvious choice but Close to the Edge.

dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources chased amid fusions of wonder in moments hardly seen forgotten colored in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge amused but real in thought we fled from the sea whole dawn of thought transfered through moments of days under searching earth revealing corridors of time provoking memories disjointed but with purpose craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp and tender love as we took to the air a picture of distance dawn of our power we amuse re-descending as fast as misused expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing late into corners, and we danced from the ocean dawn of love sent within us colors of awakening among the many won't to follow, only tunes of a different age as the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting...

Tried to think of something original but to be honest if i had to pick just one it's probably Echoes.

They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

great song.

Agreed...this one's been stuck in my head for a couple weeks now. I'll be sitting in class and it's playing in my head.

I can't really pick a favorite, though. Comparing my pantheon of favorites is like comparing apples and razor blades and those tiny circular rubber bands whose purpose I've never quite been able to fathom. Just can't be done, at least comparing any characteristics that actually matter.

It has to be Rush - and I choose Limelight. Just love the lyrics and melody on that one.

I love you Atomic because you chose that, have Rush in your name and like UFO (actually you may not like it it might have been an ironic avatar choice but whatever)

I'm going to reinterpret the question as "current song obsession."

So... Max Webster's In the World of Giants, then.

Unless you don't count them as prog, then Xanadu by Rush. Tongue

'Thick as a Brick' , although 'Close to the Edge' is not far behind, with 'Suppers Ready' behind that...

Not very original choices, but perhaps with good reason.

And your wise men don't know how it feels... to be thick as a brick.

For a very good reason. I would second "Thick as a Brick" as #1, but put "And You and I" in second in place of "Close to the Edge", and "Supper's Ready" as 3rd. Or perhaps "In the Court of the Crimson King". Come to think of it, picking just one is silly. Nearly every song offered in this thread is great in its own way.

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Definitely 'Echoes' by Pink Floyd... I adore the build-up, the sound and the meaning of it to bits...

Yeah, whatta hell is this? Just one? If you had to put a gun to my head, I'd wait for you to shoot me ... as I'm pondering what one is my #1 prog song.

EDIT: OK, if you were pulling me by my dangles, threatening to rip'em off, ... I'd quickly blurt out something like ... "... A-a-a-a-a-aAH! ... Musical Box!" ... No, wait, ... wrong answer. I think the guitar parts and the production could have been better. In that case ... "... 'Facelift'! " Yeah, ... "Facelift" will do for now.
