1. Yes - Close to The Edge
I'm unsure about my preference between Genesis - Supper's Ready and Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick 1 & 2 but I think I would lean towards Jethro Tull. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

However, if we are talking about the ultimate prog epic, then it would have to be A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers. |

It'll get a few votes, though I don't think it'll win. |

It's a close call between CTTE and SR, but I've gone for CTTE for being a more cohesive song rather than SR which is basically different songs stuck together.

If anyone is not getting goose bumps in anticipation of the apocalypse section when listening to SR, then you are basically dead.
Close To The Edge - nothing wrong with it and the playing is great , but there is no apocalypse section TAAB - ditto CTTE

Could not have described it better!  Supper's Ready is about as brilliant as it gets, I honestly doubt there is anything in the progressive rock genre that tops what Genesis did. |

CTTE and Supper are both brilliant......as much as I like CTTE, I'll go for Supper.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
