It's too wide a field for one song to define the genre.

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Genesis - Firth of Fifth?
It has both electronic and acoustic instruments, quiet and loud passages, great singing (soft and more aggressive) and great instrumental playing, it's lyrical content is surrealistic, it showcases fabulous group interaction but also wonderful solos (Banks & Hackett), it's a stretched out song with different passages but with a unifying theme...
What do you think?

I would have liked saying it exactly the same way. Thatīs prog in itīs purest sense
Sadly, "Dark side of the moon" is now 2nd. overall because it has greater prog elements in "On the run" and "Us and them"

I'll go with "Firth of Fifth", but "Supper's Ready" has got it going on.
Then there's always "21st Century Schizoid Man", "On Reflection" or "Echoes"...

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull.
If not, other runners would have to be Tarkus, 2112, maybe Close to the Edge.
