Wow, this is practically impossible. Narrowed it down to "Dreamer" and "Nights In White Satin" but still clueless

The main think it's between Pink Floyd and Yes, followed by Marillion, and I don't know which one to choose...
In another brick could have Happiest days...before, I would choose it, so go with Owner...

Much as I love Kayleigh there's no way I can't vote for Pink Floyd on this poll.

It's between Aqualung and Hocus Pocus for me. Today I'm going to see Focus in concert (second time) so Hocus Pocus it is  .

Hocus Pocus because it maintains it's prog credibility (not a bit of pop) and yet is a hit----how'd they do it?

Aqualung by a mile, followed by Focus with Moody Blues off in the distance, and after that I really don't care.

Am I missing something??
Aqualung the track was never released as a single to my knowledge, so how could it be a hit, marvellous though it is.
I vote Hocus Pocus, which was a hit, is quite marvellous too and is possibly the most uncommercial track ever to reach the charts.

I co-concur and throw in Nights in White Satin as a near third.

Not an actual charting single but Tull's most well-known track and it gets played more on the radio than an actual single like "Living in The Past." Floyd's "Money" was in the same poll and although it was released as a single, I don't think it did that well. Nonetheless, it was one of the major reasons why DSOTM became so popular.

As much as I love Aqualung, Justin's voice reigns supreme, so Nights In White Satin gets my vote.

Silent Lucidity just over Hocus Pocus and Owner of a Lonely Heart.
