Pink Floyd - Echoes
Babylon - The Mote in God's Eye King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King StarCastle - Diamond Song Smoke Rise - Survival Gypsy - Gypsy Queen Gentle Giant - On Reflection Styx - Little Fugue in G Minor Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Jerusalem Le Orme - Contrappunti I am a huge fan of fugues, and the use of counterpoint. One reason I love Prog Folk, and renaissance style prog music (and the only reason I love Gentle Giant as much as I do). |

Another vote for Duel with the Devil!

Oh yeah-that song is an absolute musical tour de force! All five members bring forth incredible virtuosity and somehow they harness what should have been absolute mayhem into a coherent whole, run through contrasting movements, but always propelling forward with great energy. It is the ultimate exposition of what Yes were capable of in both composition and execution.
