The Fall of the House of Usher has always been one of my favorite prog epics. It epitomizes the classical-rock crossover.

Andrew Powell is s genius, that piano  at 3:41 followed by  full orchestra and chorus are mind blowing

"I Robot" with honorable mention to "Eye in the Sky".  

Pretty much the entire I Robot album is indispensable to me though.

I Robot followed by Turn of a Friendly Card (the whole thing), followed by Silence and I off the list.  I also like the atmospheres of The Fall of the House of Usher a lot.

From that album (Gaudi) I like Paseo de Gracia much more, but both are great

I have made some some polls for PR and Xover bands and all worked well, let’s try with Alan parson’s Project, who combined his outstanding production and songwriting skills with the fabulous orchestration by Andrew Powell and the lyrics of Erik Woolfson.

The team worked perfectly, every album, Prog, Rock or Pop sounds great, will reduce my options to a maximum of three songs from each album ordered according to date of release

Iván 


PS: My vote goes with In the Lap of the Gods from Pyramyds
