Thick as a Brick was the first thing that popped into my mind.

harry hood by phish. its a religious experience everytime i listen to it, and i mean that literally. the whole band soars to such a great crescendo, sometimes ive got to fight tears away. not bad for a song about milk.

I lived in Helena for a few years (the town in Montana, not the woman  ).
Anyway, there's absolutely no way I could name jut one best progressive song, especially not when the opening salvo on this thread was The Pinnacle (no fair WaywardSon!). Pretty much all of them mentioned up to now are great.
If I had to somewhat arbitrarily pick just one, I would say Marillion's "Forgotten Sons".
But that will probably change tomorrow.
I'll check back then.....

Well i can think of two good epics one metal and one rock.....the prog rock for me is definitely In Earnest by The Tangent and the metal one is probably The Glass Prison by Dream Theater i mean those are just ones i can think of off the top of my head

I don't consider that song progressive, but I like it quite a bit.

Just one "favourite" you say... I really don't have one favourite song,
but I'll choose Premiata Forneria Marconi's "L'Isola di Niente" anyway.

Today is "Memory Lain, Hugh/Headloss" from Caravan. I know that tomorrow may be another song, but I don't care. BTW, I think I'll put "For the Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night" on my player again.

Genesis: Fly on a Windshield (Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) or Can-Utility and The Coastliners (Foxtrot), always take me off on a trip, even though they are quite short.

I think the very best "prog" rock compositions will always remain:
Shadow of the Hierophant (Steve Hackett)
Apocalypse in 9/8 and the eggs closing of Supper's Ready (Genesis)
Everything else is just good.

I can't tell you what's the best. But I can give my favorite.
...ok, so maybe my favorite three:
"Learning to Live," Dream Theater
"Song for America," Kansas
"Second Life Syndrome," Riverside
Subject to change.
