and which part of TaaB do you mean? I think it's the same problem of A pleasant shade of gray.....it's not a song....it's an album!


Thick as a Brick is one big song... it also happens to take up an entire album, but that doesn't change its status.

And just because you don't like KE9 doesn't mean the rest of us don't...

 

No...it's simply my opinion!!!there are so many things thant I like and no one likes (do you know octavarium by DT?)


Heh, yeah, I'm one of the few people who really likes that song.

Some other notable missing pieces from the poll are Cassandra Geminni (which would have been my vote), Gates of Delirium (which would have been my runner up), Tarkus, and all of the 20 minute + songs from Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings.

Voted for Suppers Ready. I love the live version on Seconds Out, i know, but
i think Collins fills in for Gabriel very well.

Supper's Ready is my favorite. Cassandra Gemini is pretty damn good
though.

EDIT: Yeah that's right where is thick as a brick?

I'd say Octavarium by Dream Theater. It has a nice build-up, with a very bombastic, orchestrated, and soulful end that sums up everything that happened before in the song... a great piece.

I haven't heard the Banco, so out of those it's the Genesis. But one of the TMV ones would probably win if they were on it. Also Starless, despite not being all that long, manages to cram more epicness into 12 minutes than most people do in twenty

Some of those are amongst the worst epics out there but CLOSE TO THE EDGE would always get my vote as the best ever.

I'm gonna depart from form here & vote for TransAtlantic.

Another one of those "Which of these is best" sort of things where all the choices are correct.

It's not Book 11,it's Book II,and why shouldn't Cygnus X-1 Book II be in a greatest epics poll?

It's a great epic track(nearly 20 minutes)taking up one whole side of Hemispheres.Plus it's a great tune.

I agree, someone brought up The Fountain of Lamneth, that is what i belive to be the best epic Rush has ever done, and its always overlooked. I suggest listening to it if you have not heard it, its a  goodin'.
