Gates is my favorite epic. Tarkus is probably second.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Went with Tarkus here. Don't love Gates as much as some people do.

Tarkus for me,,,,I also think Gates is less pleasing to my ears.

I love both of these band and tracks. My choice goes to 'Gates" though.  
Is war futile ?  I think war is utter failure, and nothing less. Men go to war because they've let all other options fail.

Relayers marchers easily outflank the Tarkus hedgehog tank thing, storming through the gates of delirium, chasing the Tarkus mass from the battlefield.

Tarkus. Yes have done better things than Gates

The Gates of Delirium for me. I can't stand the Mass section on Tarkus.

Gates flows very nicely. In my opinion it's the best prog epic followed by Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers, Suppers Ready and Karn Evil 9.

                                "Clear the battlefield and let me see
                         All the profit from our victory"

"Tarkus" came out charging and was on a roll until its hairy snout ran into "The Gates...".

"The Gates..." held firm and now "Tarkus" is on its armored back with its tracks in the air.

                            "... there will be no sorrow
                                       Be no pain."

The Gates of Delirium for me, but it's a very close call.

If I remember it right that's lyrics from the song War by Frankie Goes to Hollywood ?

Actually, "War, what is it good for?" was the original title for War And Peace
