There's not a cigarette paper between these 4:
1) Eruption - the best thing Focus ever did.
2) Can You Hear Me - Novella is a much ignored album, one of their best
3) The Fall of the House of Usher - the best thing The Alan Parsons Project did
4) Shadow of the Hierophant - offered as a Genesis track, but refused. Big error.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

I feel bad, I only know 2 of these; Eruption by Focus and In The Dead Of Night by UK.
In The Dead Of Night is great, but Eruption, even with my lack of listening to these other listed epics, may just be one of the greatest pieces of instrumental prog rock by any band. So Eruption.

I can't vote on it but I'd absolutely vote the A Hunting We Shall Go medley if I could. It's awesome.

I am going the fusion route here - Sleeping Giant by Herbie Hancock. It will blow your mind seven ways on a week of Sundays.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
