Well.....You know that the highest ambition of prog musicians is to compose an epic ("the epichest") track.....I want to know which you prefer......I love all of these.....but my favorite is 2112 by Rush!

I'm sure I forgot someone.....Remind me what!

You forgot Zaratustra by Museo Rosenbach
I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers.

also... "Karn Evil 9" - ELP
and "Thick as a Brick" - Jethro Tull - can be classified under both concept album and epic

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...

How about Pink Floyd's Shine on you crazy diamond? Or Colosseums Valentine suite?

These are epic too.

From those Close to the edge, because it manages to keep a theme and a mood through 18 minutes; but form the ultimate epic is Echoes.

Symphony X - Divine Wings of Tragedy

But since that one isn't on the list, I voted Genesis - Supper's Ready
