"Fools" comes to mind. And also, "Mandrake Root"

Can't understando why people still vote for their favourites as being the most prog. child in time, really? Neither this nor Bombay Calling, the source of this song. From the list it could be Fools, Anthem, the Conerto or April. The Concerto is pretty bad stuff (but not so bad as Emerson's) so I vote for April just for emotional reaons.

But we can't forget that the best DP isn't the "prog" DP...

Absolutely agree. My favourite is Child in Time, but only the other four mentioned really qualify as prog, as I'd define it. They show, how the borders between rock and classical music can be successfully crossed, which was ground-breaking for the whole genre of progressive rock. And from those four my favourite is probably also April.

Child in Time IS prog! DP never surpassed it. The Made in Japan version is quintessential listening.
