It's really hard so choose a best track, for several reasons. The first reason would be the length of the songs, Karn Evil 9 is a complete side with 8 minutes from side A, which, altough it's the same song, has three complete diferent parts; now, Comfortably Numb is only a 6 minutes song that is a part from the Wall part 2. What i'm saying is that songs like Supper's Ready or Close to the Edge make half an album, and a song like Aqualung belongs to a album concept.
It was fun trying to rate tracks and very difficult to not choose tracks like Anne of Cleves - Rick Wakeman wich i couldn't separate from the whole album. Anyway here's my list.

 

1- Dancing With The Moonlit Knight - Genesis

2- Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

3- I Talk To The Wind - King Crimson

4- Interstellar Overdrive - Pink Floyd

5- E'Festa - Premiata Forneira Marconi

6- La Poderosa Muerte - Jaivas

7- Fearless - Pink Floyd

8- Supertwister - Camel

9- Au-Dela Du Delire - Ange

10- From The Beginning - Emerson, Lake And Palmer

Hmm...i think that supper's ready, shine on you crazy diamond, close to the edge, and gates of delirum really are great strong example of prog rock.

I see you opened a new thread, which seems rather pointless to me. Moreover, although you still ask people to post alternatives options, you have made it a poll only, so we cannot post there.....
