So following on from this poll, which Epic track that at least filled one side of an LP do you prefer from the years 1973-75?

TB takes you on a bit of a musical journey, as a good epic should do, through many guitars, and other instruments, played in a variety of styles from around the world, until we end up back in Blighty dancing the Sailor's Hornpipe.  Indeed the final section of side one, from around 17:22 onwards is like the Young Person's Guide to the Rock Band.

Shine. It's the Pink Floyd week on PA, isn't it?

TB is a patchwork of shorter things, not properly an epic and I think that Dabsong is underrated. It's the last great Caravan track. TFTO works well with the four tracks together. Karn Evil and Larks are great, too, but Shine is a step forward.

Very difficult choice especially with Yes at their peak.  Sorry to be the 'what about' bore but Henry Cow's 'Living in the Heart of the Beast' is a tour de force as well.

Revealing Science of God.   

This song inspired me to drop plans to attend medical school and pursue my present career in environmental science.

Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer
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.

There are here some great epic tracks I love. But, my vote goes to Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer.
