A follow up to PA top 25: the longest song on each album

Many fantastic songs and difficult enough to pick only five favorites from this one as well imo. Perhaps a little less stone cold prog classics as in the top 25. But I figured it could make for a just as interesting poll and "discussion". So yeah, please pick up to five favorites, and let us know which ones you voted for.

Harmonium - Histoires sans paroles (17:12)
Rush - Xanadu (11:04)
Änglagård - Kung Bore (King Winter) (12:57)
PFM - La Carrozza di Hans (6:46)
Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere (20:59)
Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace (9:36)
VdGG - Pioneers Over C. (12:05)
Supertramp - Rudy (7:07)
Dream Theater - Scene Six: Home (12:53)
Renaissance - Song of Scheherazade (24:52)
Mahavishnu Orchestra - One Word (9:54)
Steven Wilson - Luminol (12:10)
Gentle Giant - River (5:52)
Genesis - In the Cage (8:15)
Caravan - Nine Feet Underground (22:40)
Gentle Giant - Proclamation (6:48)
Dream Theater - Learning to Live (11:30)
Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra (20:49)
Camel - Rhayader Goes to Town (5:20)
Pink Floyd - Echoes (23:27)
Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo (13:20)
VdGG - Childlike Faith in Childhood's End (12:20)
Banco - Il Giardino Del Mago (18:26)
Frank Zappa - Inca Roads (8:45)
Gentle Giant - His Last Voyage (6:27)

Btw: It's 27-51, as I skipped Kind of Blue in the first poll.

I went with the three at the top of the list Rush, Harmonium and Anglagard. Picking two more from the rest was too hard, so I just went with what I felt like listening to right now, and added Mahavishnu Orchestra and Pink Floyd.

Oops, I originally missed that it was five, but listed more anyway. So aside from "Echoes" which I already voted for, I vote for "Nine Feet Underground", "Pioneers Over C", "His Last Voyage", and "In the Cage". I could have gone with the Banco del Mutuo Soccorso track, love the debut, but seeing Banco, I think of Banco as a later incarnation of BdMS that I am not into and will stick with my original post's order. I do like GG's "Proclamation" too, but "His Last Voyage" is more special to me.

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.

I'm not sure I understand. Did you miss that it was the epic track from their debut because I didn'write the full band name? Isn't it quite normal to just write Banco as short for Banco del Mutuo Soccorso? Combined with a relatively long song title I just figured it wouldn't be enough space for everything in the poll choice space.

^ Just some small talk based on an association I had made. My mind was not really on the task when I responded the first time -- distracted by other things, kind of sleepy too, which is why I even missed that you asked for us to choose five. I abbreviate it to BdMS, and tend to think of the Banco albums as the later albums released as Banco. I have seen others just say Banco for the whole shebang. No big deal. Had I thought about it at first, I later did, I would have remembered that that track was off the debut. BdMS is not band I have returned to much in many years and that epic was not a personal favourite off its album. Also maybe because it's under another initialised abbreviation, VdGG, my not-on-the-ball brain would have been more likely to expect the initialism of BdMS at the time. Speculating somewhat, as I don't quite recall my state of mind at the time.
